True Sport

True Sport encompasses a series of programs and initiatives with the aim of empowering people, communities, and organizations to harness the numerous advantages of sports based on shared values and principles. True Sport is dedicated to the notion that good sport can make a great difference.

True Sport is committed to the idea that the practice of sports can have a significant impact. Its mission is to introduce programs and initiatives that:

1. Empower participants, parents, coaches, and officials to act in accordance with their deep-seated belief in the merits of good sportsmanship.
2. Enable participants, parents, coaches, and officials to relate to others who uphold similar values.
3. Foster a just, secure, and open environment where good sportsmanship can flourish through inclusive competition at all levels.

To achieve these objectives, True Sport advocates for seven core principles. These principles must always be in play, harmoniously interacting with one another, for sports to genuinely embody the concept of "good sport." True Sport teams, clubs, athletes, coaches, and educators commit to upholding these principles.

By committing to the True Sport Principles, you or your group (school, team, club, or community) become part of a growing movement of Canadians who believe in the power of sport to build character, strengthen communities, and foster excellence.
