In an ongoing effort to keep soccer fun and safe for kids and all of the adults who help to make our game a reality, Alabama Soccer has partnered with Respect in Sport, an on-line training program aimed at coaches and youth activity leaders, which informs individuals on issues related to bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination.

Designed to both protect children, and provide coaches with information and tools to help recognize and address issues of maltreatment, Respect in Sport is a blueprint to help raise awareness and improve the culture of youth sport.
