UNDERSTANDING THE RULE OF TWO – New

This is a free 20 minute course. The goal of the Rule of Two is to ensure all interactions and communications are open, observable and justifiable. It is one of three pillars of the Responsible Coaching Movement, along with background screening and ethics training.

- - - Have a solid understanding of the Rule of Two
    - Improve their ability to assess and implement preventive measures

Applying the Rule of Two in sport environments provides many benefits, including:

    - Protecting everyone, including coaches and volunteers
    - Reducing a sport organization’s liability
    - Providing additional help if there’s an accident or emergency
