What must I do if I see or suspect abuse?

• The Meet Director and any USA Gymnastics member who witnesses abuse must immediately report it to local authorities and submit a Safety and Response Report to USA Gymnastics or the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Members are mandatory reporters.
• If you see a coach doing something that puts an athlete's safety at risk (for example, risk of catastrophic injury or a possible concussion), report it to the Meet Director. The Jury of Appeals will review it and can act to protect the athlete.

Rules that help prevent abuse at events:

• Closed-door meetings between an adult and a minor athlete aren't allowed at any event under USA Gymnastics jurisdiction.
• Event staff assigned to monitor a locker room or changing area must have SafeSport training and a background screening.
• Gymnasts must change only in designated areas.
