Sports without Boundaries: Every Child Gets to Play

Breaking The Boundaries That Inhibit Kids From Playing!

Mission Statement

Our mission is to inspire, empower and enrich the lives of kids in our communities by providing them with holistic opportunities to explore, play and learn from sports.

SWB Canada believes that sport is not only an ideal medium for establishing innovative athletic skills but also encourages the progression of children as accomplished individuals, competitors, and practical learners.

Thus, we are committed to instilling a lifelong passion for sports by connecting our kids through leagues that promote fun-based learning and the importance of sportsmanship and enhance the healthy development of every child. Behind all this, we aim to tackle the widespread stigma faced by the most vulnerable children by providing a platform where they are protected, respected, and supported to realize and unleash their hidden talents.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to create a world where every child has access to sports programs and shows their athletic talent to the world without restricting their financial and social barriers. SWB is dedicated to giving youth the holistic opportunity to actualize their potential both in sports and in life lives.

Mandate

Sports Without Boundaries (SWB) seeks to bridge the gap in the sports community by making sports affordable and accessible to all kids, regardless of their race, religion, gender, or socio-economic status. Recognizing that access to sporting opportunities might be limited by financial barriers, particularly for low-income families, SWB was founded to make sports affordable and easily accessible for kids of all backgrounds. We provide kids aged 7 to 18 a convenient approach to sports while also equipping them with various life skills to help them achieve their best and navigate through life.

SWB equally spreads the love of learning and develops sustainable life skills through active and fun-based activities. The organization provides a wide range of sporting activities that not only promote physical fitness but also help to develop mental and emotional well-being, discipline, communication skills, and camaraderie in kids. Moreover, SWB also offers life coaching and awareness initiatives such as financial literacy, personality development, career orientation, entrepreneurship, and management skills, and facilitates workshops on post-secondary requirements, available scholarships, and funding opportunities. SWB believes in the power of creative play and provides opportunities for individuals to gain critical life skills through performing art, music, and dance. In a nutshell, SWB is dedicated to providing combined innovative programs in an inclusive environment that prepare kids to excel in every aspect of their life.
