Respect in Sport Online Course Information  

All Team Officials are required to have completed the Respect in Sport course (also known as Speak Out) before they can be active with a team. This includes Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Trainers and Managers.

This course gives the participants effective tools to recognize and deal with topics such as:

Definitions of abuse and harassment
Responding to disclosures
Showers and locker rooms
Transporting of participants
Injured and ill children
Road trips
Integrated teams
Prevention guidelines for playing
Prevention of harassment and abuse during competition
Fair Play Codes

You will be issued a wallet card once you have successfully completed the course. This certification is valid for the duration of your volunteerism in our organization.

For coaches please note that Speak Out is NO LONGER integrated into Coach certification training.
