The OMHA is rolling out an extension of the Respect in Sport program to now include Parents. Your Player will not be able to be rostered on a team until the course is completed.
The Respect in Sport Program for Parents is a 1 hour online program geared to providing the parent with information on how to evaluate and understand:
- Parental influence over a child
- Coach and leader roles in sport
- Role of the parent and coach in ensuring a child's enjoyment of a sport
- Protecting your child when outside of your immediate control
- Concussion awareness and Return to Play guidelines
- Long-Term Player Development
The course has a
$12 cost and can be accessed at the
OMHA website | Respect | Education
Please note, this is a
different program than the Speak out or Respect in Sport program required for coaches, trainers and other officials. The speak out certification you may already have received does
not cover this Respect in Sport parent program requirement - this is a new program.
