WLYSA and BC Soccer are pleased present the Respect in Sport Coach / Activity Leader Education Program.

Respect in Sport, Canada's only interactive, online certification program to protect our youth and enhance an organization's mandate for safe, fun and respectful environments for all. Respect in Sport was developed as a grassroots online tool so sport and community organizations can deliver on their commitment to creating a safer environment for all participants; coaches, managers, trainers, administration and volunteers and even parents!

The fee for this user friendly 3 hour online course is $30, collected by Respect in Sport.

1. I will be reasonable when scheduling games and practices, remembering that young athletes have other interests and obligations.

2. I will teach my athletes to play fairly and to respect the rules, officials and opponents.

3. I will ensure that all athletes get equal instruction, support and playing time.

4. I will not ridicule or yell at my athletes for making mistakes or for performing poorly. I will remember that children play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves.

5. I will make sure that equipment and facilities are safe and match the athlete’s ages and abilities.

6. I will remember that children need a coach they can respect. I will be generous with praise and set a good example.

7. I will obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching skills.
