To be eligible for the program, league administrators must first register their youth sports organization at the Responsible Sports website. Applicant organizations must be a registered nonprofit, traditional youth sport organization recognized by the governing bodies of their sport(s). Organizations must serve the community at large and must be open to the general public.
After registering, coaches, parents and youth sports supporters can participate in the Responsible Sports Parenting and/or Responsible Coaching coursework and quiz. Organizations receive credit for each participant who passes the ten-question quiz at the end of the coursework. Twenty youth sport organizations with the most credited certifications will earn a Responsible Sports Community Grant to help defray the many costs of running a successful youth sports program.
