Lead the Way to Learn and Play With Champions for Life
The Champions for Life Foundation offers physical literacy solutions for schools, teachers, and extended care program providers. Our programs and resources empower children ages 4-12 to move well and build the skills, confidence, and motivation to be more active!
Give Your Students the Tools to Live a More Active Life
The Champions for Life Foundation is a Canadian charity that empowers children ages 4 to 12 to develop their physical literacy. We offer turnkey physical literacy programs, resources, and expert technical assistance to schools, especially for those in vulnerable or under-resourced areas.
With our physical literacy solutions, you can help school-aged children stay active by teaching them how to move well, why physical activity is important, and how to avoid sitting still for too long. This helps them build the skills, confidence, and motivation to make healthier choices throughout their lives.
An Urgent Cause: Canada is Facing a Growing Childhood Inactivity Crisis
Alarming trends are sending children on a dangerous path. High levels of sedentary time, particularly screen time at a young age, are associated with higher body fat, poor diet and lower self-regulation, lower cognitive development, social and mental health challenges, slower motor development and reduced cardiovascular health.
This generation will need to become habitually physically active to grow into healthy, resilient adults who can survive and thrive in a changing world.
By working together, we can focus on movement behaviour change in children, for whom a timely early intervention will lead to vastly superior health outcomes over their lifespan.
