In an ideal world all children would be exposed to a variety of sports while they are young. It not only benefits kids' overall health and fitness levels but also encourages camaraderie and team team building skills. Children of every age and ability can start sports lessons at any time. If your child happens to find a sport that he/she will love for a lifetime, that is even better!
There are hundreds of places in Calgary for parents to find kids sports programs. A few examples are: hockey and skating lessons for kids, children's tennis lessons, golf for kids, soccer leagues for children, kids baseball leagues, gymnastics classes for kids, trampolining, horseback riding lessons, martial arts and great swimming classes for children! There are also several fitness and sports clubs for kids in Calgary, where they can use fun, interactive equipment - they think they are playing video games, but they are actually exercising.
Remember, the Government of Canada allows you to deduct up to $500 per child on your income tax form. It is called the fitness tax credit. You can find out more about this credit at
