As a condition of participation in minor hockey, the OMHA/OWHA has mandated that parents of players registered are required to take the Respect In Sport (RIS) Parent Program. 

In June of 2013 the OMHA announced a move to become a complete ‘Respect’ integrated association. In addition to Team Officials, the OMHA now requires that all On-ice Volunteers, On-ice Officials and Parents to complete the appropriate ‘Respect’ education. 

Respect in Sport is informative on-line training program for parents of active children. It is designed to reinforce the role of a parent in activities of young athletes. It is an opportunity to create greater awareness about our roles within sport for our children and remind us all of what is truly important about sport and children. This program is focused on ensuring the safety of our children, encouraging positive and effective communication and how to enhance a child's fun and camaraderie. Certification is a mandatory requirement whether your child participates in a Representative, House League or Local League program. 
 
At least one parent or guardian of each player registered in minor hockey in the OMHA is required to complete the Respect in Sport – Parent Program as a condition of participation. In other words, if at least one parent does not complete the course your child/children will be ineligible to play hockey until such time as the course has been successfully completed. 

It will cost $12 (+tax) for each family to complete the Respect in Sport certification.   The cost of the program directs funding towards:

 

It is important to note that ALL family members are encouraged to utilize this training as they will be able to access the training using the same username and password of the person who originally registered with the program from the family. This is NOT a fee being collected by the SSMHA, nor being directed back to the SSMHA.

IMPORTANT: 

When beginning the course it is important to open "Child Management" and enter all children you have registered in minor hockey. All children must be listed here in order to associate your certification with your child's Hockey Canada profile. If you cannot find your child in the data base please contact us for assistance. To aide with connecting your certification to your child's record, children's names must be entered using the same spelling as when they were registered with Hockey Canada.

The Respect in Sport–Activity Leader certification for team officials does not meet the parent requirement. The certification for the parent is tailored to the Role of the parent, providing information specific to the parental involvement, while the Activity Leader program has a different focus. The RIS - Activity Leader certification is uploaded to the individual’s profile. The RIS – Parent certification is uploaded to the players (child’s) profile. These are two different certifications. 

Upon completion of the program please ensure to save a copy of your certificate and the confirmation email for future reference.

 

Saugeen Shores Minor Hockey will be responsible for implementing these requirements as established by the OMHA and requires your support and cooperation with ensuring the completion of this certification.

The cost of the online Respect in Sport Parent Education Program is $12 plus HST which can be paid via credit card or PayPal when registering online.  You will not be reimbursed for this cost, it is an OMHA program not a SSMHA program.

Thank you for your commitment to the safety, enjoyment and success of your child, and all OMHA participants.
