Get them back to school and back in the game.
You can give every child the chance to play.
All across BC, hundreds of children and youth will be denied the opportunity to play the sports they love when they go back to school, due to one simple fact: lack of funds.
At AthleticsforKids we provide grants to families to cover sport registration fees through our Sport4Life Grant Program.
Our goal is to ensure that kids between the ages of 5-18 are able to play and participate in sports. Whether that's swimming lessons at the rec center, community lacrosse, or joining a gymnastics club, we provide financial assistance to help low-income families cover registration fees for over 55 non-school-based amateur sports.
Join us to get kids in the game.
The costs of raising a family can feel overwhelming all year round. But the pressure rises in September.
This is a time of year that comes with extra pressures for kids and parents alike. And one thing that we’ve noticed is that for more and more BC kids, the rising cost of playing sports is leaving them on the bench.
“We’ve had to make difficult choices this year, and extracurriculars just aren’t in the budget right now. A4K’s support allows our daughters to stay active and do something they love.”

For many kids, back to school means more than just getting back in the classroom…
⚽ It means heading back out onto the soccer pitch with their friends (in the rain!)
🏊♀️ It means working towards the next level in the swimming pool.
🥋 It means Saturday morning Karate lessons with their favourite sensei.
Thank you for helping Athletics4Kids say yes to kids who want to play!
