  REMINDERS
  Coaches and Team Personnel who are currently active and have not yet completed their RiS Training need to be aware that they are not eligible to be involved with any team until they complete their RiS. Subject to fines and discipline, Member Organizations are responsible to suspend participation of coaches or team personnel until they complete RiS.
  It is encouraged that individual coaches 'transfer' their Respect in Sport Training into the NCCP Transcript at the time of re-certification, for easier record-keeping.

In addition to your training, you must include the requirements of the Responsible Coaching Movement:

• The “Rule of 2” (New CAC training related to the Rule of Two) The goal of the Rule of Two is to ensure all interactions and communications are in open, observable, and justifiable settings
