Active for Life

Sport and physical activity play an important role in a child’s healthy growth, development and maturation. Physical activity leads to healthy lifestyle habits, increased social skills, improved mental and cognitive skills and educational success. The City of Kelowna offers programs that support the Canadian Sport for Life model of physical literacy.

Canadian Sport for Life aligned programs will be found in the Children’s 6 & Under and 6 & Up sections. Look for the symbols:

Active Start (0Y-6Y) - At this age, physical activity should always be fun and part of daily life. Active play in a safe environment is the best way to keep children physically and socially active.

FUNdamentals (6Y-9Y boys, 6Y-8Y girls) - Skill development at this age is best achieved through a combination of unstructured play in a safe and challenging environment.

Learning to Train (9Y-12Y boys, 8Y-11Y girls)

This is a period of accelerated learning of coordination and fine motor skills. It is a time to develop all fundamental movement skills and learn overall sport skills.

There are no prerequisites for any of the programs. Children can start at any stage.

RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES
