Safe Sport
Ranger Wrestling Club is committed to creating a safe, positive environment for all athletes.
What is SafeSport?
SafeSport is a national program designed to prevent abuse, bullying, and misconduct in sport. As a USA Wrestling affiliated club, all Ranger coaches are required to be SafeSport certified.
We take the safety of our athletes seriously. Every coach, volunteer, and staff member working directly with wrestlers must complete comprehensive training and background checks.
Check the SafeSport Banned List
We encourage all parents to independently verify our coaching staff. Search any coach's name in the U.S. Center for SafeSport Disciplinary Database — a public record of all banned individuals.
Search by coach name, city, state, or sport (Wrestling). Results show sanctions, bans, and temporary restrictions.
