KidSport™ Nelson

KidSportWelcome to KidSport™ Nelson
Not all kids have the opportunity to be involved in sports. For those who dream of hitting a homerun, scoring a goal, shooting hoops, and making new friends, it’s all possible through KidSport™. For a happier, healthier lifestyle for kids in British Columbia, KidSport™ makes a difference.

Kids Helping Kids

We believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports. KidSport™ provides support to children in order to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sport.

Nelson’s chapter is run by a committee of volunteers that ensure that the local funds that are raised are used to help local children play sports.

Eligible KS Sports need to be affiliated with Sport BC.
