Flame’s of Nebraska Softball Policy on Abuse & Molestation

FLAME’S ABUSE/MOLESTATION POLICY FLAME’S will not tolerate the abuse/molestation of any minor participant in a FLAME’S sanctioned activity. FLAME’S sanctions athletic events in which it provides rules for play and a tournament structure that leads to season ending tournament opportunities for teams that register to play in FLAME’S sanctioned events. Because FLAME’S is not an organizer, it does not, in any way take responsibility for the creation, management or any other activity of the teams (customers) that register to play in FLAME’S sanctioned leagues and/or tournaments. As such, we encourage parents of youth team participants, the adult team participants, the community organizations who are involved in the organization, creation or management of such teams to investigate and screen the background and character of the individuals who coach, manage, volunteer or otherwise come into contact with such teams and their minor participants. FLAME’s conduct training on the prevention of sexual abuse for their coaches and staff.
