Respect In Sport - Parent Program
ATTENTION: PARENTS OF ALL PLAYERS
As a condition of participation in the 2014-2015 season, at least one parent of all EMHA players registered with the OMHA are required to take the Respect In Sport (RIS) Parent program.
This on-line course MUST be completed by a minimum of one parent per family. Don't delay. Non-completion of this course will result in your player(s) not receiving OMHA approval to play on any teams.
From the OMHA website:The Respect in Sport Program for Parents is a unique, in-depth 1-hour online program geared to providing parents 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
Moving forward as leaders in the game, the OMHA will move to become a complete ‘Respect’ integrated association effective the 2014-2015 season. Please take a few minutes to sign up and complete this now in order to avoid issues later.

- the course takes approximately one hour and does not need to be completed in one sitting
