Coaching Certification

Respect in Sport (RIS)

Respect in Sport is an online coaching, supervisor and parent teaching module which helps leadership involved in youth sport and development learn about best and healthiest practices for those environments.

MODS is the governing and organizing body for all school league, junior, and provincial programs in Manitoba. We are governed by Coaching Manitoba and Sport Manitoba, this requires all of our coaches to complete Respect in Sport training. This rule also applies to all chaperones, managers and assistant coaches. 

If you have already completed RIS for another sport, then that will carry over and be applied to ultimate through the NCCP coaching locker. 

If you have taken RIS in the past, please make sure it is current and up to date -  RIS requires re-certification every 5 years.

Should coaches be found coaching during a game without having completed this accreditation, the coach will be removed from that game and will be suspended from the following game. Should that same coach try and coach again without the proper accrediation and completion of RIS, they will be suspended from coaching in Manitoba for 1 calendar year and their team will be put into suspension for that season.

We encourage everyone to start their online accreditation as soon as possible... most people take 2-3 hours to complete this online course, however some are done quicker and some take longer. You cannot fail RIS.

Convenient online certification for coaches and sport leaders

Sport Manitoba Coaching believes in being proactive in ensuring sport in our province is safe and welcoming for all participants. Respect in Sport (RiS) helps us promote those values through a simple and convenient online training course for coaches and sport leaders.

Mandatory RIS Recertification 

In the spring of 2016 Sport Manitoba proudly announced mandatory RiS recertification (every five years) for coaches in Manitoba. We were the first province to make the RiS program mandatory and we are equally proud to be the first to make recertification mandatory.
