Respect in Sport Activity Leaders Training Access
Gymnastics BC pays for all GymBC coaches to complete the RiS training course, but coaches need a pre-registration access code in order to complete the course without being prompted to pay (GymBC will not reimburse individual coaches (or their clubs) that pay for the course themselves).
If you are a GymBC member and belong to a current GymBC club, please obtain the Respect in Sport Access Code from your club, then visit the Respect in Sport link in the bullet list above.
If you are a GymBC member and do NOT belong to a GymBC member club, please complete THIS form to request a pre-registration RiS access code. After we verify that you are a GymBC member and do not belong to a member club, we will send you a code.
Please contact coaching@gymbc.org if you have any questions about RiS.
