In February of 2018, the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 became effective. The bill holds youth sports organizations to an increased standard of care regarding reporting, training, procedural guidelines, policies, and routine system reviews. From a legal standpoint, if an organization or club fails to meet this standard of care, and their actions or willful conduct cause the minor to suffer harm—and the sexual abuse was reasonably probable—the organization can be held responsible in a civil lawsuit.
