Our Fall leadership session will tackle the skills that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully - all qualities of a great leader.

We're now offering our Little Leaders program for girls in grades 1-3 at the centrally located Varsity Community Association in NW Calgary!

Advocating for inclusiveness and diversity, Run.Jump.LEAD! and Imperial Oil hosted Girls in Sport and Leadership workshops for Imperial employees and their daughters.

Resilience. Perseverance. Passion. GRIT. We’ve all heard the buzz words - the traits we should be instilling in our kids to raise them to be successful humans. You’re not alone in thinking, “is my kid tough enough for this world?”

As parents, we want value for our money and many of us have been in the position where the programs we sign our kids up for just don’t meet our expectations. They’re most likely letting our children down too.

In our rapidly changing world, tween and teen girls are feeling the pressure. Fueled by social media and expectations to be perfect, girls experience a severe confidence shortage starting at the young age of 8.

Girls state that for them to engage in sport and leadership, they must see that the benefits are attainable and meaningful.

For young girls, a positive experience with physical activity and sport depends on many factors. Social connection is the key link to retaining girls in sport.

By the age of 12, girls drop out of sport 3x more than boys. What can we, as parents do about it? While the drop in participation rates are certainly alarming, we want to highlight some of the main reasons for sport drop out and more importantly, focus on what factors can help reverse the trend.

It is widely known that when girls participate in sport, they reap the physical, social and psychological benefits of healthy, active lifestyles. But did you know that athletics and sport participation can also help propel a woman’s career, improves a woman's leadership potential and significantly impacts her perception on her ability to lead?

Our May Play-By-Play is here! Research has shown that high performance athletes continually come from a diverse background in sport and activities rather than early specialization.

Our April Play-By-Play is here! We aim to keep you up to speed on our programs, how our organization is continually pursuing our mission, and provide education to help keep the young girls in your life active, healthy and pushing boundaries.

It’s no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on our children’s physical and mental well-being. ParticipACTION’s Report Card on Physical Activity in Children & Youth found large declines in physical activity levels.
