Jurisdictional Hold
A Jurisdictional Hold is a type of case resolution and closure used by the U.S. Center for SafeSport (the “Center”) when a Respondent[1] is not currently a Participant, but was a Participant at some point previously. A Jurisdictional Hold prevents the Respondent from participating in the Olympic and Paralympic movement until allegations are resolved.[2]
The Center has notified USA Diving that the following individuals are subject to a Jurisdictional Hold. These individuals are prohibited from participating in USA Diving events and activities as Participants.
Any questions about jurisdictional holds should be directed to the Center.
