Responsible Coaching Movement

CKO Sprint champions the Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM). The RCM is a multi-phase system-wide movement, coordinated by the Coaching Association of Canada and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, which has the potential to affect all sport organizations and coaches.

Resulting from extensive ongoing consultation with sport organizations and leaders in Canada, the RCM encourages the commitment and implementation of supportive policies to ensure the safety and protection of athletes and coaches, both on and off the field of play.

The RCM calls on sport organizations to adopt policies and processes in three key areas of their coaching practices:

The RCM invites parents to follow the three steps to Responsible Coaching and encourages them to play a more active role in their child's sport activities. The RCM empowers parents and provides them with the tools to ask a coach if their organization has taken the RCM pledge and adopted its policies.
