What is Safe Sport?

We continue to take action to protect those involved in racquetball and encourage all clubs, facilities, provincial associations and tournament organizers to do the same.

• We have adopted the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS). The UCCMS is the core document that sets harmonized rules for conduct and behaviour to advance a respectful sport culture that delivers quality, inclusive, accessible, welcoming, and safe sport experiences. All those who become registered participants in Racquetball Canada activities are required to agree to adhere to the UCCMS, as well as the policies of the organization.

• We have adopted the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP), which is in effect as of April 1, 2025. Through the CSSP Rules, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) independently administers the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) for federally funded, national-level sport organizations by receiving and responding to reports of prohibited behaviour, and by developing and carrying out education, prevention, and policy activities.

• We are guided by a robust set of Safe Sport policies.

• We have taken the  Responsible Coaching Movement pledge.

• We engage an Independent Third Party Case Manager (ITP) to facilitate complaints that don’t fall within the jurisdiction of OSIC.

Further information about each of the protections we have in place can be found in the Safe Sport sections of our website.
