Playing sports can be healthy for children’s development. Skills that can be learned and practiced through sport include: leadership, perseverance, cooperation, and self confidence.
Kids Sport is one of the local funding agencies that help kids access sport if income is a barrier. They have been able to support over 500 children since they started in 2011. This represents over $100,000 in registration fees for local children to participate in sport.
