Football Canada’s recommendation for mandatory safe sport training is the CAC’s Safe Sport Training (eLearning available for free via the Locker).

Football Canada is guiding the PTSOs to follow their own provincial or territorial government’s lead (i.e. Saskatchewan and Manitoba have existing requirements) or, in the absence of a Provincial/Territorial requirement, they can follow Football Canada’s. Football PTSOs can access training to their own decision and discretion.

Safe Sport Training is a free, 90-minute module which will equip coaches, administrators, and volunteers with the knowledge to recognize, address, and prevent maltreatment in sport. In addition, the CAC has created tools and resources to help you embed Safe Sport principles throughout your organization.  Safe Sport Training is available in both official languages, meets accessibility guidelines, and works on any platform or device. Certified coaches will earn two Professional Development points upon completing the module.  Creating a sport culture where everyone can thrive is everyone’s responsibility. Safe Sport Training developed by the Coaching Association of Canada helps you play your part.
