Winter 2020 Moresports Vancouver Update
To all our staff, volunteers, family and participants,
We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we enter into the next phase of returning to programs. Our goal is to introduce more sport and leadership activities to our members in a way that prioritizes the safety of participants, staff, coaches, volunteers and the community.
To help keep our communities safe and make sure we are following provincial health guidelines at all times, we must proceed carefully as we restart sport activities. As a result, at this time sports programming for elementary aged students in Vancouver will not be operating this term as we are figuring out the best practices to return safely to programs. Our focus in Vancouver this season will be to provide training and developmental opportunities for youth and coaches.
We will be providing updates on opportunities for youth leadership training and certification workshops for high school students and former coaches for the months of December – February. All of our postponed workshops will be reschedule for the new year. Please see our training calendar for updated dates. We will be working closely with partners to ensure all programming will abide by public health guidelines to ensure a safe return to programming for all participants. For more information please connect with our Moresports Coordinator at cynthia.lee@moresports.org.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and communicate any future plans should health recommendations change.
Moresports Tri-Cities Hub: Christmas Fundraiser!
Moresports Tri Cities Hub has set-up an on-line Auction – 12 days of Christmas Fundraiser!
This pandemic has reduced the ways for us to support the children in our neighbourhoods through afterschool programs/camps and also prevented our youth mentors the ability to thrive in the communities they normally serve in. As a way to support our communities this winter, the Moresports Tri-Cities hub has partnered with local businesses in the Tri-Cities area to fundraise for programs so that children and youth can access programs in the new year. We want to reassure our families that their community cares about them and hope to put a few smiles on their faces for the new year.
We want to thank all partners that donated items for this Christmas Fundraiser, and are excited to open this event on Saturday, November 28, 2020. We look forward to connecting to everyone and hope that this spreads some local joy in our communities.
Big thanks to Santa and @scholasticCDA Scholastic Books as they have collaborated with us to provide a silly Storytime with Santa video reading for everyone to enjoy!

Over 900 mini soccer participants, 150+ high school youth volunteers and over 2500 people in total. Thank you to everyone that came out to our 14th annual Soccer Jam on Saturday, June 8th, 2019! It was a great success once again this year as we celebrated the year end of our Mini Soccer programs in a full day of mini soccer friendly games along with our special event family carnival zone. A big shout out to all our community partners and the amazing families that came out to support our event. It was truly a wonderful community celebration and we look forward to seeing you all again next term!
