Violence prevention programs for
student athletes & coaches
It's a well-known fact: coaches influence the kind of people young athletes are, and the adults they become. Using sports as a platform to end dating abuse and sexual violence, TeamUp expands the reach of two proven programs for middle school, high school, and college athletes.
Athletes learn a lot from sports — including that aggression, having control, pushing past others, and fighting to the finish is celebrated.
Perfectionism can make stars. It can also open girls up to controlling relationships, exploitation, abuse. Let's leave it on the field.
Now, especially, you need to stay engaged with your athletes. They're probably anxious, worried, frustrated, and so much has been taken from them. Coaches have likely used technology to bring their teams together. This will be no different. And hey, It's a really good time to talk.
Coaches are influential with their athletes. Learn about this social-emotional program that helps coaches lead conversations about bullying and dating violence.
"Dating abuse" affects millions of teenagers. Maybe you've experienced it, or a friend has, maybe you've just heard of it. Can you make a difference? You can.
Nearly a third of girls know a student at school who's been physically abused by a person they were dating. Learn how to bring TeamUp coaching to your school.
