RESPECT IN SPORT PROGRAM - OMHA, News (Tillsonburg Minor Hockey Inc.)

  At least one parent or guardian of each player registered in minor hockey in the OMHA will be required to complete the Respect in Sport – Parent Program as a condition of participation. In other words, if at least one parent hasn’t completed the course your son/s and/or daughter/s will be ineligible to play hockey until such time as the one-hour online education course has been successfully completed. NOTE: 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,
This is actually a Hockey Canada initiative that has been in place in Alberta for a couple of seasons now and has been adopted by the OMHA. It is an opportunity to create greater awareness amongst us all about our roles within sport for our children and remind us all of what is truly important about sport and children.. 
 
Certification is a mandatory requirement whether your child participates in a Rep program or a House League program. You can follow the links below and GET IT DONE.

It will cost $12 (+tax) for each family to complete the Respect in Sport certification.  This is NOT a fee being collected by the TMHI, nor being directed back to the TMHI. This was a conscious decision by the Association not to add this to the registration fee as many families have more than one child playing and it would have resulted in those families paying more than was required. 
 
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
