IntroductionThe Canadian Tire Jumpstart Kids Activity Kit (Kids Activity Kit) provides sports and recreation equipment to communities that organize programs for children and youth of financially disadvantaged families. For community organizations that qualify, Canadian Tire Jumpstart covers the cost of the equipment/kit that is ordered and the organization may keep and reuse the equipment.

The purpose of this program is to help give kids a sporting chance to get involved in an activity and have fun!

As part of this program, we have created a resource guide to introduce and explain the recreation activities included in the kit. This resource has been developed as a first step for planning a recreation program. It provides basic instructions on how to organize activities, and also includes suggested references to expand your knowledge of rules and strategies and/or enhance your coaching skills.

Resource OverviewThis resource has three core sections.

1. Background Provides an overview of Canadian Tire Jumpstart.2. Activities Outlines 18 sports and recreational activities that don’t require specialized

facilities or individual fitted equipment.

3. Application Identifies eligibility and application process.

BackgroundCanadian Tire JumpstartEstablished in 2005, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities provides kids in financial need with better access to the life benefits of community based organized sports and recreation. Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities (Jumpstart) helps cover registration, equipment and transportation costs. Kids range in age from 4 to 18 and select their own activities (where facilities and programs are available) reflecting their individual interests, dreams and physical needs.

Developed in conjunction with local community stakeholders, Jumpstart has an extensive network of Chapters that reflect the diversity of each community. These Chapters consist of local organizations that serve children and youth from financially disadvantaged families. Across Canada, Jumpstart works with over 1,700 organizations (e.g., Big Brothers Big Sisters, municipal parks and recreation departments, YMCA-YWCA) to discreetly identify financially disadvantaged children who will benefit from the program. This model helps ensure that the funds are directed to kids in a community who need it most.

In addition, Jumpstart develops strategic partnerships with community organizations and corporations that have common goals in getting kids active and healthy. The Jumpstart Kids Activity Kit provides an opportunity for us to build on these partnerships.

We have helped over 1 million kids since 2005, and facilitate this assistance through a network of over 2,400 community partners. The Jumpstart Kids Activity Kit program will help us reach even more kids across Canada, especially those in previously under-serviced communities/neighbourhoods.

How much physical activity do children and youth need for good health?Children and youth need at least 90 minutes of physical activity a day. This may include 60 minutes of moderate activity (e.g., brisk walking, skating, bike riding) and 30 minutes of vigorous activity (e.g., running, playing soccer). As well, children and youth should reduce inactive time each day (such as watching TV, playing computer games and surfing the Internet) by at least 30 minutes per day.

Jumpstart ActivitiesOutlined on the following pages are basic explanations for a number of recreation activities to assist you in planning and/or organizing games in your community. We encourage you to apply your own creativity and resourcefulness to expand on these fundamental elements, and as skill level increases, to teach the full set of rules and corresponding strategies.
