Beneficiaries

Delta is pleased to have a regional chapter – all money raised in Delta stays in Delta.

Kids need sport, they need to be active. Sport will increase the child’s physical development making their muscles and bones stronger reducing the occurrence of physical injury and teaching better coordination, agility, balance and fundamental skills. But, there are many other benefits. Playing sport will aid in weight control, which is a growing problem in our society. Sport builds character and skills such as teamwork, leadership and the responsibility as they learn to work with others to achieve a common goal. Sport builds self-confidence and self-esteem as they achieve both personal and team goals.  Sport strengthens perseverance through their challenges and this kind of adversity will lead to better coping skills, critical thinking and application skills in life when they are met with a bigger challenge. Sport teaches life skills of teamwork, time management, discipline, healthy competition, and sportsmanship. Sport is vitally important to our children and youth – we want to help to see that all children have the opportunity to participate.
