The Muaythai Ontario club Membership is only necessary for Ontario based clubs.

While you're completing a membership for a renewing club, we still need to collect the club's email in this form to be able to send notifications

Club membership information is required for government reporting. Your club’s member information will never be released on its own- only in aggregate with other clubs.

Completing the following information accurately is extremely important, as it will unlock access to programs like the Ontario & Canada Games, partnerships with the Coaching Association of Canada, Sport Canada funding for high performance athletes, and more.

Participation in any sport or physical activity carries with it the risk of injury. Concussions are an injury specific to the brain, and Ontario's Rowan's Law bring awareness to concussions and concussion safety. New regulation and legislation in Ontario requires that:

1. Athletes, parents of athletes under 18, coaches, and officials confirm every year that they have reviewed Ontario’s concussion awareness resources;
2. Members follow a removal-from-sport and return-to-sport protocol; and
3. Members follow a Concussion Code of Conduct that sets out rules of behaviour to support concussion prevention.

Muaythai Ontario takes concussion safety seriously, and requires that all members read through the concussion awareness resources and Concussion Code of Conduct as it applies to their age and role within the sport.

If your club is not currently registering Recreational members with Muaythai Ontario you will need to download and print the following concussion awareness resources and provide them to your club's members.

Clicking buttons below will open the resources in a new tab, after which you can come back and complete the membership form. These resources will also be emailed to you upon completion of the Club membership registration.

CONCUSSION CODE OF CONDUCT FOR CLUBS

Our club will help prevent concussions through

• Efforts to ensure Members wear the proper equipment and wear it correctly;
• Efforts to help Members develop their skills and strength so they can participate to the best of their abilities;
• Respect for the rules of our sport and ensure that our Members do, too; and
• Our commitment to fair play and respect for all (respecting coaches, officials, and all participants and ensuring our Members respect others and play fair).

Our Club will care for the health and safety of all participants by taking concussions seriously. The club understands that

• A concussion is a brain injury that can have both short- and long-term effects;
• A person doesn’t need to lose consciousness to receive a concussion;
• An athlete with a suspected concussion should stop participating in training, practice or competition immediately;
• Continuing to participate in further training, practice or competition with a suspected concussion increases a person’s risk of more severe, longer lasting symptoms, and increases their risk of other injuries or even death;
• We have a commitment to concussion recognition and reporting, including self-reporting of possible concussion and reporting to a designated person when someone suspects that another individual may have sustained a concussion; and
• If an athlete under our care sustains a concussion outside of Muaythai Ontario sanctioned competition we will ensure that they inform Muaythai Ontario through the Injury Reporting form at muaythaiontario.org/injuries or we will report it on their behalf.

Our Club will create an environment where participants feel safe and comfortable speaking up. The club

• Will encourage Members not to hide their symptoms, but to tell a Coach, an Official, a Parent or other designated responsible person they trust if they experience any symptoms of concussion after an impact;
• Understands and respects that any Members with a suspected concussion must be removed from sport and not permitted to return until they undergo a medical assessment by a Physician or Nurse practitioner and have been medically cleared to return to training, practice or competition; and
• Commits to providing opportunities before and after each training, practice, and competition to enable Members to discuss potential issues related to concussions.

Our club will support all participants to take the time they need to recover. The Club

• Understands the commitment to supporting the return-to-sport process;
• Understands the Members will have to be cleared by a Physician or Nurse Practitioner before returning to sport; and
• Will respect Coaches, Officials, Parents, Physicians and Nurse Practitioners and any decisions made with regards to the health and safety of our Members.

Our Club understands that not adhering to the code will result in corrective action

• We acknowledge that there will be escalating consequences if the Club repeatedly violates the Concussion Code of Conduct.

Clubs are able to participate in their first Muaythai Ontario affiliated event (club show's only) without paying the club membership fee. Payment of the membership fee is required should you wish to continue to participate in Muaythai events.

Note that during Reopening for Ontario's emergency orders in 2020, no trials will be accepted. Please complete payment to become a member club of Muaythai Ontario.
