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.
Awards are presented annually at Xplore Sport Day.
