Respect in Sport Parent Program
Dear Parents,
In an ongoing effort to foster a safe and enjoyable environment for our athletes in our great game, the OMHA is implementing a plan to ensure the OMHA is complete Respect Integrated Organization.
Effective August 31, 2014 at least one parent or guardian of each player registered with the OMHA will be required to complete the online Respect In Sport Parent Education Program as a condition of your child’s participation.
The Respect in Sport Parent Program is a proactive, educational program that empowers parent with the tools to ensure the game is enjoyable and respectful for themselves, their children and all other stakeholders in the game. This portion of the program is only one of the three pillars of our respect platform. The Respect in Sport Activity Leader program is currently a condition of participation for all Team Officials and will be a requirement for all on-ice volunteers and all on-ice referees (age 16 and above) effective August 31, 2014. Though this mandate, all stakeholders will be introduced to the Respect education when considering the needs of our athletes.
