Meet the panel: Logan Ruzycki.

Head Coach of Football Alberta's U14 Girls Flag Football team — the first Alberta flag football program to medal, and then the first to do it two years running.

He's joining us at Celebration of Sport 2026 to talk about how the big moments in sport turn into kids showing up: more players, more teams, more chances to compete.

Skylar wanted to play volleyball.

Her mom brought her to All Sport One Day so she could try it before middle school tryouts. She played one session and figured out pretty fast that volleyball wasn't her thing.

Her mom's reaction: "You just saved yourself from doing that process."

That's the part people miss about what we do. It's not only about a kid finding the sport they fall in love with. It's about finding out what isn't it — before a family pays the registration, buys the gear, and commits to a season.

Skylar found track instead. She used to hate running at school. At her first meet she placed in the 100m, the 200m, long jump and shot put. She had never thrown shot put in her life.

She's 13. Since her first All Sport One Day she's tried jujitsu, motocross, cheer, soccer, fencing and swimming. She wants to be a small engine mechanic one day, which is why Girls in Motorsports is still her favourite. Two of her closest friends are kids she met at our events.

Her advice to a kid who's nervous: "It's just to try. It's just to have fun."

Her mom's advice to a parent who's hesitant: "You don't know until you try."

Every kid deserves to find their sport. Sometimes that starts with finding out what isn't.

What does a Celebration of Sport ticket actually buy?

Not a plate of food. A first try — and then a second one.

25,000+ Calgarians have been introduced to sport through our programs. 72% of them go looking for a way to keep playing after. That only happens because 71 organizations got financial support, 40 venues opened their doors, and 650+ member organizations showed up for kids who might otherwise never get on the field.

Your seat on September 17 is the funding for the next one.

You can’t take away every first-day nerve. But you can help them walk in knowing they already have a team.

Meet the panel: Jay McNeil — President of the Calgary Stampeders, and before that, a guy in a helmet on that same field.

He's joining us at Celebration of Sport 2026 repping the Grey Cup, talking about how the big games turn into more kids signing up for sport in this city.

Free doesn't happen by accident.
On August 15, Calgary kids walked into a gym, a rink, a dance studio, or a field they'd never set foot in before. No registration fee. No equipment to buy. No reason to say "maybe next year."

That only works because a whole city decided it should.

Thank you to our sponsors, who paid for the barrier to come down. To our volunteers, who handed out shirts, tied skates, and made a nervous kid feel like they belonged there. And to our venues, who opened their doors and said bring them all.

Every kid deserves to find their sport. This is what it looks like when a city agrees.

See you at All Sport One Day 2027. 🔴
