Education Programs

Protecting Healthy and Fair Sport at All Levels

USADA exists to ensure a fair and level playing field from the start of an athlete’s career to the day they retire. Education is key to doping prevention, which is why USADA and TrueSport provide education to thousands of athletes, coaches, trainers, medical staff, and other athlete support personnel each year. We offer a variety of education programs to help teach integrity and ensure that athletes and their support teams understand anti-doping rules and responsibilities.

Our Educational Approach

TrueSport®

Whether you are a coach at your local school district, a little league parent volunteer, or an elite club organizer, TrueSport’s powerful educational tools will help change the culture of your youth sport program.

USADA’s Coach’s Advantage tutorial is a comprehensive educational course to help athlete support personnel better understand anti-doping rules, including the Prohibited List, Whereabouts responsibilities, the sample collection process, and more.
