Responsible Sport Parenting
US Youth Soccer has partnered with Liberty Mutual Insurance to bring the youth soccer community Responsible Sports
TM, a program dedicated to championing and celebrating responsibility in youth sports. We believe that some of the most influential individuals in young people's lives are parents and youth sports coaches. Responsible Sports provides valuable resources and expert advice to youth sport parents. Visit
ResponsibleSports.com to find out how to further improve upon your commitment to being a positive role model in the lives of youth athletes.
The youth soccer community, including coaches, parents, administrators and volunteers, is encouraged to visit
ResponsibleSports.com, where they will find parenting resources, helpful tips, expert advice and community spaces to share ideas and opinions. Parents can participate in the
Responsible Sport Parenting material and become recognized as a Responsible Sports All-Star.
