Join

The True Sport Movement is rooted in its simple Principles.

By committing to these Principles, your school, team, or community joins a growing Movement of Canadians who believe that sport has the power to shape character and express values, promote inclusion and inspire excellence.

Why sign your name? To tell your teammates, your opponents, and yourself that these are the rules you play by. On the rink, in the pool, on the track—everywhere.

Why get your league or community involved? To spark a conversation about why you come together to play, train and compete. To agree on what you want to strive for and how.

Why show off your True Sport banners, pins, tattoos, and certificates? Because you’re part of a sporting Movement that brings out the best in people and communities. Because standing up for the True Sport Principles is something to be proud of.

Although joining True Sport always involves the same three steps -- Describe -- Decide -- Declare -- the details of your process will vary depending on the group you belong to.

Please select from the list below the kind of group you represent:

• Allies – Non-sports groups that value good sport (Boys and Girls Clubs)
• Citizens – Individuals who support True Sport (parents, teachers, coaches, athletes, volunteers)
• Communities – Municipalities (towns, cities, villages) of any size across Canada
• Facilities – Arenas, community sport centres, courts, fields, pools, parks and tracks 
• Schools – Elementary and high schools, colleges and universities
• Sports Organizations – Leagues, clubs, associations, federations and governing bodies
• Teams – Groups that come together to participate in sport

After enrolling on the True Sport Website as part of the Movement, download (from this page on the right) the True Sport Declaration certificate, sign it and hang it in a prominent place for all to see.
