Responsible Coaching Movement:

The Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM) is a call to action for sport organizations, parents, and coaches to enact responsible coaching across Canada. Responsible coaching allows you to support your participants' right to a safe and positive environment. Below are some ways to protect your athletes and yourself both on and off the playing field.

The Rule of Two:

Special Olympics Saskatchewan strives to work together with coaches, volunteers, athletes, staff and stakeholders to achieve the practice of the Rule of Two. SOS's goal is to ensure no one is put in a vulnerable situation, and to provide a safe environment for all in any SOS program, event, or meeting. Special Olympics Saskatchewan is working to educate all members on the Rule of Two, and how they can implement this within their sport experience.
