Join the Club

Start a free, fun & flexible sport club at your school!

How the Program Works:

Youth Sport Club is a free, fun, flexible program that helps more kids participate in sport at school and in the community. The program creates a fun and supportive environment where students can participate in a variety of sports and activities, including running, basketball, and soccer, regardless of skill or experience level.

Clubs meet one to five times per week, providing students with consistent opportunities to be active in a way that feels comfortable and enjoyable. Whether students are walking, running, shooting hoops, or playing a casual game of soccer, the focus is on participation, connection, and building healthy habits.

Ever Active Schools provides clubs with all of the necessary resources and supports for coaches and community champions to start, maintain, and celebrate inclusive, active play.

The Coaches:

Coaches can be teachers, staff, parents, peer leaders or community members.

The number of coaches required will depend on the size of the group, the age of the participants, and the type of running route chosen. It is ideal to have several adults involved to ensure safety and to motivate participants. Head coaches are encouraged to recruit parents and community volunteers.
