Sport should be open to every kid.

so we make it affordable and accessible

The LIGHT Sports Foundation takes down the two things that keep Calgary kids out of gymnastics: what it costs and who it's built for. We fund bursaries so families can afford to play, and we run adaptive gymnastics for athletes with disabilities, so every kid has a place on the mat.

About the Foundation

Affordable, accessible gymnastics for Calgary.

Two things keep too many kids out of sport: the cost, and programs that aren't built for athletes with disabilities. The LIGHT Sports Foundation tackles both. We raise funds to make gymnastics affordable, and we run adaptive gymnastics designed for athletes with disabilities, so a family's budget and a child's ability stop deciding who gets to play.

Affordable

Bursaries and subsidized spots so registration, equipment and travel costs don't decide who gets to play.

Accessible

Adaptive gymnastics for athletes with disabilities, with coaching that meets each athlete where they are and moves at their pace.

For every family

Movement classes for a range of ages plus respite drop-ins that give caregivers a real break.
