Respect in Sport Coach and Leadership Program

USRowing is pleased to announce it has partnered with Respect Group Inc. to launch the Respect in Sport Coach and Activity Leader Program, a risk management and abuse prevention program.

The Respect in Sport Coach and Activity Leader Program is a tool to assist coaches, volunteers and referees in identifying and dealing with abuse, bullying, harassment and neglect in sport and respond to and report negative behaviors, if necessary. USRowing is one of several national governing bodies to implement this program, which has been utilized by organizations such as USA Triathlon, Hockey Canada and Gymnastics Canada.

Respect in Sport uses innovative, instructional design techniques to provide an Internet-based training experience that is simple, to the point and captivating for the learner.

The cost of the program is $30.
