Community Sports and Social Events

The data around physical activity is alarming: on average, kids are still sitting too much and moving too little to reach their full potential. Only 35% of 5 to 17-year-olds are reaching their recommended physical activity levels as outline in the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. Why does it matter? It’s all about the brain + body equation. There is a growing body of evidence indicate that physical activity in childhood is essential for a healthy brain and leads to improve:

•  Thinking and learning
•  Emotional regulation and self-control
•  Problem-solving ability Memory
•  Brain plasticity-the growth of new brain tissue
•  Stress management
•  Ability to cope with anxiety and depressive symptoms
•  Self-esteem and self-growth
•  Attention and focus

Adding more physical activity to kid’s routines could be the missing part of the equation to support their success in the classroom, on the field, and with their friends.

Canadian Zalmi Society is a local nonprofit organization; we are starting a sports program for Kids and Youth that can help kids and youth aged 8 to 16 years. This program will consist of different sports like cricket, soccer, tennis and basketball. Sports programs are an excellent opportunity for the kids and youth of our community.

Our Kids and Youth Sports Program will help your children develop leadership and teamwork skills and promote a healthy, active lifestyle for the entire family. We work hard to keep our expenses low, and our community involvement high.

There is an importance placed on everyone acting in a kind, helpful and courteous way at all times. We enable leadership by allowing each child to take the lead. Giving each child this exposure teaches the importance of leadership and how leaders are individuals who share what they know and encourage others to grow. While the good-natured rivalry is accepted, we have a strict restriction against bad-mouthing, and bullying, of other players or groups.
