SportFit

Sport discovery program for schools and communities

SportFit™ is a fun, easy, interactive tool to get children and youth interested in physical activity through the discovery of new sports.


Promoting active, healthy living in kids

As a fitness motivation and educational program, SportFit is promoting active, healthy living in Canadian children and youth. SportFit enables children and youth to discover new ways of being physically active by identifying sports matching each participant’s personal preferences and physical abilities.

SportFit™ is also an educational program. SportFit online (www.SportFitCanada.com) contains a sport directory linking children and youth to sport clubs and facilities in their area, and showcases 78 Olympic and Paralympic sports with multimedia lessons for students and teachers.
 
SportFit™ helps children and youth discover new places their interests and skills can lead them—to an ice arena, ski slope, soccer field or swimming pool.

"SportFit has been an excellent opportunity for my students to experience different physical fitness stations, to make them more aware of their bodies and its capabilities."

"The kids loved the activities—quick yet challenging…It was a great way to start the year. The staff and students got to meet each other in a meaningful way."
Henry Anderson Elementary, Richmond, BC

"Gives the students an idea of where they stand compared to others but more importantly does not judge where they are—all receive the same certificate."
