Children In Sport

Zone 5 Sports Council

 

Children need 30 minutes of physical activity every day to improve fitness and health levels. 

About 90% of Canadian children participate less than than.  

(The Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1992) 

Congratulations on choosing sport for your child!  Sport can be a powerful vehicle for developing life skills such as teamwork, dedication and goal setting.  In a positive sporting environment, children have the opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and develop new interests.   It takes parents, children and coaches working together to provide this type of environment, and parents are an integral part of this sport team.  Children in Sport is a program designed to ensure that children receive the most positive experiences possible from sport.  The focus of this program is on learning the fundamental skills before entering into more competitive sports and on providing an opportunity for children to have life-long experiences in sport.  The focus is on process - not outcome. 

 

The Zone 5 Sports Council would like to attend your sport's parent information night or registration night to present some information on Children In Sport.  The presentation will include:  viewing an awesome CIS video, distributing parent resource guides and discussion time.  All this can be wrapped up in an informational 30-45 min. program, complete with tips and information on creating a positive environment.  CIS helps you learn first-hand how sport can be a terrific life-long experience for our children.
