 <\/p>\n

The relationships gained through sports are priceless. You meet so many likeminded individuals that help foster the growth of those involved. The practices and games teach discipline and help gain self-confidence through the support of teammates. KidSport offers more than an opportunity to get involved in organized sports but offers youth an opportunity to gain lifelong community relationships while creating leaders of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taisa Gabruch – <\/strong>Women\u2019s Soccer<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From a young age I was fortunate enough to have the opportunities to play soccer, volleyball, basketball and track. I truly believe that the power of sport has made a huge positive impact on my life and has taught me many transferable life skills like teamwork, passion, dedication and how to face adversities. I believe it is so important to get involved in as many sports as possible from a young age as it is a safe space and stress-free environment for kids. Sports also creates a foundation for life. You learn basic movements, develop social skills and can create opportunities for yourself through sport. The power of sport has taught me so many things and given me so many opportunities and I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today without it.<\/p>\n
