As the South Asian community grows and integrates into the Canadian lifestyle they are increasingly realizing the importance of youth involvement in Sports. Many parents and older students are also realizing the importance of either volunteering or being actively involved in their childrens lives. For this reason we have over 70 volunteers who devote their time to helping us run and provide these services to youth. We realize that not every parent has the resources to enroll their children in sports teams therefore we register some children for free and provide them with the essential uniforms and equipment. Had it not been our volunteers we would not provide such a valuable service to our community.
Sikh Sports Club provides the following services:
• Soccer tournaments and practices for youth. With separate teams for girls and boys
• Bhangra (South Asian dancing) classes for interested youth, free of charge.
• Tutoring for youth that need extra help with their homework or classes. This ensures that school is not sacrificed due to participation in our sports activities. It also encourages education above all.
• Annual Picnics for all Club participants and their families
• Annual awards ceremonies to recognize player achievements.
Some of the organizations key goals are listed below:
• To provide adults and youth with an active lifestyle in order to ensure positive growth.
• To integrate Physical Activity with Entertainment and Education so that all youth are positively rounded.
• To provide girls a chance to participate in Sports activities.
