Abuse Prevention

We take all reports very seriously and are committed to creating a safe environment for our players, families, volunteers, and staff.

Overview

Arlington Soccer is committed to providing a safe environment for all players and preventing abusive conduct in any form. Arlington Soccer has zero tolerance for abuse in all ages, programs, and club activities. It is the responsibility of every coach, volunteer, parent, and player to participate in the collaborate effort to ensure our athletes are protected while enjoying the game they love. Providing that environment requires all of us to be educated on best practices and prevention strategies and act when the time comes to report suspicious behavior. 

Prevention

Arlington Soccer has implemented several policies to help protect the environment our athletes participate in. Our Player Safety Policies address several areas listed where coaches, families, and athletes can reduce the risk of inappropriate interactions.
