Respect in Sport

All coaching staff are required to have a valid Respect in Sport Certificate within the last 5 years.

Things like bullying, discrimination and even abuse. They’re just some of the many difficulties kids may face. To help identify issues, every coach in Manitoba must take the Respect in Sport course. Coaches and managers will be required to re-take it every five years.

Over the years the course has been updated to include topics such as cyber-bullying, hazing and gender identification.

Updated course includes:

• Modification to reflect change to age of consent legislation
• Increased messaging pertaining to Hazing
• Increased messaging about Cyber Bullying, Discrimination effecting Lesbian, Gay and Transgender athletes
• Social Media concerns
• Widened the scope of the program to include any person of power/authority
