WHAT IS SPORTFEST?
SportFEST is a community celebration of sport that brings together local sport organizations, families, and newcomers to explore, experience, and enjoy a variety of sports. SportFEST will kick-off at Rock the Rails and this free event is designed to introduce new participants to sport, encourage multi-sport involvement, and celebrate the many ways sport helps build community. Then SportFEST will continue on to a MONTH-LONG event that will provide the community with opportunities to experience different sports as TRY-IT-DAYS at sport organizations' locations for activities, open houses, tournaments, and more! See below for all the SportFEST Try-it-Days being offered!
OUR VISION FOR SPORTFEST
At Wood Buffalo Sport Connection (WBSC), we see SportFEST as the go-to event for families to discover sports in a fun, welcoming environment. We want to break down barriers to access, including cost, awareness, and fear of trying something new. By showcasing a variety of sports and activities, we aim to spark interest and participation in local sports, and what better timing is it than to align with the ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge?
TRY-IT-DAYS
See the bottom of this page for the full schedule of amazing sport organizations that are hosting try-it-days and fun activations, open houses, or tournaments at their own locations throughout the month of June!
