    SafeSport

    As a member club of US Ski and Snowboard and under the umbrella of the USOC, CVA recognizes the importance of the SafeSport initiative. As it states: We all have a role to play in creating a healthy setting for sport. SafeSport helps raise awareness about misconduct in sport, promotes open dialogue, and provides training and resources. When we work as a team, we can build a game plan to make sport safe―for everyone.  CVA is committed to the health, safety, and well-being of each of our athletes.
    Updated training is available through the SafeSport website. Courses range from 15 - 30 minutes. We encourage all families to utilize the free educational training.
