SafeSport and SHIFT DRIVING Classes Mandatory for High School Team
SafeSport and its philosophy are a core part of the BJC community. We require ALL High School athletes and ALL High School parents to complete the short online class before the first practice. It only takes 15-30 minutes to complete.
Safety on the road for cyclists and pedestrians is also critical. We all share a duty to make our roads safer. And so we require ALL High School athletes to take the SHIFT DRIVING online class. This class is produced by Bicycle Colorado.
WHAT IS SAFESPORT?
SafeSport is a set of resources and policies to protect athletes from bullying, harassment, hazing, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual misconduct.
BJC requires all high-school aged athletes, all parents, and all coaches to take a basic-level online SafeSport course, and send our staff your certificate of completion.
Athletes and parents are required to take the course EVERY YEAR. This includes ALL PARENTS, both Mom, Dad, etc.
We’re proud to have earned Gold Level Certification for SafeSport, the highest level available.
