Flag Tool for Sport
Unsure what to do when something doesn’t seem right in sport? Check if a behaviour is okay, decide what to do, and get the resources you need. Different people might get different results; this is normal and can help start a conversation. Find more information at https://flagtool.viasport.ca
Mandatory Training
All coaches, club board members, and athletes with racing licences must take the following:
SafeSport Training
Safe Sport training is a free 90-minute eLearning module in the Locker. Safe, inclusive sport environments help make sport rewarding and enriching for all. Safe Sport training gives you the knowledge and skills to create those environments by recognizing, addressing and preventing maltreatment in sport. To find out more and to take the training, go to https://coach.ca/sport-safety/safe-sport-training.
Understanding the Rule of Two Training
A safe sport environment ensures all coaches, staff, and administrators apply the Rule of Two. When following the Rule of Two, all interactions and communications with participants are in open, observable, and justifiable settings, and two responsible adults — whether a coach, parent, staff or screened volunteer — are present. Understanding the Rule of Two is a free 20-minute eLearning module in the Locker. This training will improve your judgment to assess and implement preventive measure and increase your confidence and practices when faced with situations in which the Rule of Two may apply.
