Absolutely! We strongly recommend registering your child in at least two sessions to give them the opportunity to try out more than one sport. Do not double book your child(ren) in sessions happening at the same time.

We reserve the right to cancel excessive registrations because we want to allow as many children as possible to try out a free sport.

Additionally, at our multisport sites, a wristband will also be handed out to the participants who do not wish to have their picture taken at this event.

No, All Sport One Day is not a day camp.

You are responsible for taking your child from activity to activity. All Sport One Day is an opportunity for parents to learn about new sport and connect with sport organizations in your area offering programming for children.

For our multisport hubs, we strongly recommend you arrive at least 15 minutes before the activity is scheduled to begin as these are often larger facilities and we are managing the check-in for multiple sports.

This will ensure you have time to find where the activity is scheduled to take place, check-in at the registration desk or directly at the activity site.

(Please allow extra time if your activity requires specialized equipment or is in a big facility.

Look for All Sport One Day signage to direct you to the right location at the facility.

Some activities are only offered to specific ages, depending on the physical and the coordination skills that are needed to participate.

Ages groups have been decided in consultation with each sport provider in order to provide a better experience for the children.

Make sure you register in a session that is appropriate for the age of your child to avoid a disappointing experience.

In most cases, equipment will be provided, but you may bring your own equipment if you prefer.

The description for each session will inform you if the equipment is provided for that specific activity. Bathing suits and towels are not provided for children in water-based sport activities.

If you do not have the required equipment for a given session, you can try the following:

• The Calgary Flames Sports Bank assists low-income families with equipment donations. Equipment is available on a first come, first serve, with priority given to qualified families. The quantity and sizes of available equipment change regularly. Follow the instructions at to learn more. Please apply as early in advance of your schedule as possible.

• There are companies in Calgary that offer sports equipment rentals on a short-term basis, such as Sports Rent and Outlaw Sports.

• Ask your family, friends, or neighbors! Just make sure it fits properly so you child is safe when playing.

• Reach out to a sport organization directly to see if they have equipment you can borrow.

For most activities, running shoes and fitness clothing (t-shirt, shorts and/or sweat pants) are appropriate. A filled water bottle is a must.

For most outdoor activities, jacket, hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent are also recommended. Please dress for the weather.

Some activities may require additional equipment, which can be found in the session’s description.

Most outdoor activities will continue if there is rain. So e outdoors sports that cannot proceed in the rain may be moved to another facility with space indoors, or they will be cancelled. We will inform affected session participants by email with any session cancellation notices.

The standard session length is 50-60 minutes.

This allows enough time for sport providers to provide a brief introduction and warm-up, before beginning the activity and concluding with information about how to join the sport.

Under the description for each session, you see information about the session provider.
