\n\t\tABOUT\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tKidSport Kamloops\n\t<\/h4>\n\t

KidSport Kamloops is a local chapter of KidSport Canada. We are a not for profit organization that works to remove the financials barriers that otherwise prohibit a child from playing sports. Funds raised locally are spent locally and are distributed as grants to cover registration and\/or equipment fees associated with participation in a season of sport.<\/p>\n

Sport and physical activity provide invaluable opportunities for kids to learn teamwork, fair play and dedication. Through sport participation, kids learn how to set goals and work to achieve them – all while having fun and learning social and fundamental movement skills. Kids in sport benefit from increases in self-confidence and tend to lead happier, healthier lifestyles, now and in the future.<\/p>\n

For more information please email us at\u00a0kidsportkamloops@sportbc.com<\/a> or call 250-828-3822<\/p>\n

Our chapter accepts applications and administers grants of up to $625 per child\/year, for kids who live in Kamloops, or in one of the other communities we serve. If you live outside of Kamloops please contact the Provincial Office<\/a> to find your nearest chapter, or to get support through the Provincial Fund.<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAPPLY FOR A GRANT\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\tOUR Team\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tKidSport Kamloops is made possible thanks to passionate volunteers and our incredible partners. Together we’re making it so no kid in Kamloops is left watching from the sidelines.\n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tScott Andruschak\n\t<\/h5>\n
\n\t\tChair \n\t<\/h5>\n\t

I have worked indirectly and directly with KidSport for almost 20 years first as a charity supplier of clothing and then a board member when I moved to Kamloops in 2007. It was a privilege to accept the role of chair in 2014 for the Kamloops Chapter. Our committee continues to be a diverse group of caring volunteers that bring tremendous value to the community by helping our local youth access sport.<\/p>\n
