situations that significantly compromise the quality of coaching
services and the health and safety of athletes. 2.3 Ensure that activities are suitable for the age, experience, ability and physical and psychological conditions of athletes. 2.4 Make athletes aware of their responsibilities for participating safely in sport.

Integrity in Relationships 3.1 Explore mutual expectation with athletes in an honest and open manner, giving due consideration to the age and experience of individuals. 3.2 Act with an enthusiastic and genuine appreciation for sport. 3.3 Know and abide by sport's rules, regulations and standards. IV. Honouring Sport i. act on and promote clearly articulated values related to coaching and sport; ii. encourage and model honorable intentions and actions in their coaching practice; and iii. show high regard for and promote the value of sport in Canadian society and around the world.
