Canadian Sport for Life
An approach to sport and recreation skill development
Canadian Sport for Life is a framework for developing and delivering sport and physical activity programs to children that is centred around their health, and their mental and physical stage of development. The Canadian Sport for Life model provides a safe and progressive pathway for children to pursue lifelong physical activity, and also offers a progressive pathway to high-performance sport.
Healthy child development in sport and recreation
Canadian Sport for Life promotes the teaching of movement and sport skills critical for children in various stages of development. Children with a solid foundation of movement education and skill development feel confident and engaged whether they participate in physical activity for fun, health, competition or the pursuit of excellence.
The Canadian Sport for Life framework is available for coaches, teachers, instructors and parents to learn about delivering quality sport and recreation programs for children and youth, and to support the development of healthy activities that will last a lifetime.
2010 Legacies Now is working with school and educational groups, and sport and recreation organizations to embed the Canadian Sport for Life principles and program development criteria in B.C. through planning support, resource guides and presentations.
