Respect in Sport for Parents

One of the most common reasons coaches, managers, officials, and athletes, of all ages, cite for leaving sport is unacceptable parent behaviour. Respect in Sport for Parents defines a standard of behaviour for all parents and creates a more rewarding, safe, and respectful environment for everyone involved.

Required for parents and guardians

Regina Ringette Association (RRA) requires parents and guardians of our youth players to complete an online program called Respect in Sport for Parents. This program takes about 90 minutes.

You must complete this program by October 15 for your child to participate in ringette activities.

RRA pays for each Regina Ringette parent/guardian to complete the program. Everyone who registers in Learn to Play through U19 receives the prepaid RRA code when they register for the season. Use this code to pay for the program.

Please note:

• Respect in Sport for Parents is valid for 5 years (for your certification to be valid through the 2025-26 season, it must be dated later than April 2021)
• You’ll need to log your certification with RRA (follow the steps below); we’re not notified with someone completes the program
• You don’t need to re-submit your valid certificate each year
• Be sure to complete and submit Respect in Sport for Parents, NOT Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders
• You can submit a Respect in Sport for Parents certificate from another sport

Program information

• Parent program access: Ringette Canada – Respect in Sport for Parents
• This program is for Parents and Guardians of young athletes and active children in Canada; it is not for Coaches, Trainers, Officials, or other Leaders
• Ringette coaches are required to have Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders (see Team Staff Info for more details)
• These programs contain different content and must be completed separately
• To receive recognition for this program, children who are now or will soon be registered with Regina Ringette Association must be added to your profile during registration for this program
• Once complete, your certificate is available to view and print from your Profile page
• You’ll need your certification number and your certificate (screenshot or pdf) to log your certification with Regina Ringette Association

Logging your certification

After you complete the program, log your certification using this form:

Respect in Sport for Parents – RRA Certification Log

• Every youth player in RRA (from Learn to Play through U19) must have at least one parent or guardian certified in Respect in Sport for Parents and logged through this form

We encourage every parent/guardian to complete this program (using the RRA code for payment) and log their certificate.

For example:

• A family with 2 parents and 1 ringette player must submit one form for that player, and they may submit two forms if each parent completes the program and has a certificate to log with RRA (same player on each form)
• A family with 1 parent and 2 ringette players must submit two forms; one for each player (same parent and certificate on each form)
• A family with 2 parents and 3 ringette players must submit three forms; one for each player (logging one or two parents and certificates)
