Rising Sport Stars
Many young athletes in our community are just beginning a lifelong journey of being active and achieving success in sport. Through the Rising Sport Stars program, athletes aged 12 years or younger who participate in a Red Deer sport organization are recognized for their commitment, passion, effort or for overcoming adversity to successfully participate and develop skills, regardless of result. The Rising Sport Star program supports local sport organizations, as they develop participants by following Sport for Life’s “Long Term Athlete Development” model. You can read more here.
If your sport has “Rising Sport Stars” participating, nominate them today! Awards will be presented this year May 11 at the “Sun Run” hosted by the Bower Community Centre.
