Youth Programs: 

Active Start: Ages 2-6

Active Start is a 12-week family-centred activity program targeting children with intellectual disabilities between the ages of 2 and 6. Through the Active Start program, children learn basic motor skills such as walking, running, jumping and throwing in a fun and safe environment.

Children who get involved with Active Start can't stop smiling, and their parents and caregivers have a great time playing along and watching their kids blossom and develop essential skills.

FUNdamentals: Ages 7-11

The FUNdamentals program is a continuation of the Active Start program for children with intellectual disabilities between the ages of seven and 11, with the skills transitioning from basic movement skills to basic sport skills. The family-centred program provides children with a more in-depth introduction to sport-related motor skills along with training and competition, while maintaining an atmosphere of fun and meaningful interaction.

The 12-week program introduces the sports of soccer, softball, basketball, and track and field. It provides children with the opportunity to learn and practice the sport skills necessary for participants to later move into community or traditional Special Olympics programs.
