WHO ARE WE?
Our mission is to create projects teaching unique and specialized sport and active play programs to children in need. Through education and mentorship, our goal is for each project to leave a positive and sustainable impact on the children and their community.

We aim to help children and youth who participate in our projects reach their fullest potential, while building self esteem, self confidence and acceptance of others. 
Our programs are designed to help disadvantaged youth develop and grow in all areas; physically, socially, emotionally and mentally.


Our goal is to reach and teach children in need wherever they may be. 
Whether in Canada or beyond to the developing countries, we hope to change the lives of children in our projects while encouraging the sustainability of the program teaching those involved to keep playing forward.
