Welcome to CoachSafely

The CoachSafely Foundation, based in Birmingham, AL, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed to mitigate the youth sports injury epidemic, as defined by the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; to research and advocate for best practices and policies that prevent youth sports injuries; and to educate youth coaches and promote their role in helping athletes aged 14 and under stay active, healthy and safe through their participation in youth sports.

The mission of the CoachSafely® Foundation is to limit youth sports-related injuries through research, advocacy and education of coaches, parents, physical educators and other influential figures in young athletes’ lives. The Foundation’s vision is to set a new standard for youth sports safety through the influence of laws, policies and best practices based on data-driven research in order to limit youth sports-related injuries.
