Welcome to KidSport
Not all kids have the opportunity to be involved in sports. For those who dream of hitting a homerun, playing goalie, shooting hoops, taking one for the team and making new friends, it's all possible through KidSport. For a happier, healthier lifestyle for Alberta kids, KidSport makes a difference.
Mission:
We believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports. KidSport provides support to children in order to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sport.
We do this by:
- Raising funds in the community to pay registration fees for KidSport kids to participate in sport programs.
- Gathering used equipment for KidSport kids to use in sport programs.
- Advocating the value and benefit of kids playing sports in the pursuit of lifelong health and wellness.
We believe that through participation in organized sport activities, kids learn the values of:
- Co-operation
- Team play and friendship
- Commitment to goals
- Personal excellence
- Healthy competition
- Self-esteem
