Respect in Sport (RiS)
RiS is an on-line training course for coaches and sport leaders. It is designed as a tool to assist coaches in identifying and dealing with abuse, neglect, harassment and bullying in sport. The on-line course curriculum is broken into six (6), 30 minute modules hours to complete and includes audio/visual presentations, quizzes and printable handouts. The one-time cost for the program is $30 plus GST which will be reimbursed to you by BMHA. Another beneficial feature of the program is that it does not need to be done all at once. It can be completed at your leisure.
Please note that BC Hockey Reg. 2.20 requires all team officials on all Minor Hockey teams to complete the Respect in Sport on-line course. The minimum age to enroll for this clinic is 16.
HCSP
From Hockey Canada:
The Hockey Canada Safety Program utilizes a proactive, preventative, common sense approach to keeping our children safe. The goal of the program is for the safety people to implement effective risk management programs with their own teams where player safety is the first priority at all times, both on and off the ice.
The safety person is a volunteer who has become HCSP certified. This certification program must be successfully completed every six years in order to be a team’s safety person, even if the individual is a medical professional.
The safety person:
· must conduct regular checks of players’ equipment.
· is responsible for promoting proper warm up and conditioning techniques as a form of injury prevention.
· coordinates plans for road trips, tournaments, etc. and assists in the overall supervision of the team.
· establishes medical history files on every player and caries these files and the team first aid kit on every outing.
· implements an Emergency Action Plan for the team and through this is prepared to react in the event of accidents, injuries and medical emergencies.
· manages all injuries, learns to recognize serious injuries and refers injured players to qualified professionals.
· must assume a leadership role in promoting the values of safety, fair play and integrity.
The HCSP seminar is 8 hours long. The minimum age for this course is 19 years of age.
