KidSport 2010 Grants available to help kids get involved!
The cost of organized sports can be a barrier to participation and limit the choices for some families. With the help of dedicated supporters, KidSport works to fulfill its mission of eliminating the financial barriers to sport participation, "So All Kids Can Play!" Kids have the opportunity to reach their highest potential when they have access to physical activity, which can positively impact physical health, development of social skills, self-esteem, and friendships. Established by Sport BC in 1993, KidSport is a community-based sport funding program that provides grants for children aged 6 to18 to participate in a sport season of their choice.
