Urban Youth Sport  
LDSCR offers Urban Youth Sport Programs which aim to reduce the barriers of transportation, nutrition, equipment and facilities while providing an introduction to a recreational sport experience for all youth participants.

If you are a coach, volunteer or facilities manager and would like to run a specific sport program in P.A. for Urban Youth  experiencing a financial disadvantage, please contact Kristy at 953-1623 ext. 3 or email: kristy.ldscr@sasktel.net.
 
Higher Spirits Indoor/Outdoor Soccer League
We had 10 schools participate in the after-school soccer league, a program for youth ages 9 – 11 years from the community schools in P.A. The school teams traveled around the city playing on different school soccer pitches and then inside the Margo Fournier Centre from September to November. This program was made possible through the Urban Aboriginal  Community Grant program granted through the City of P.A. We would also like to thank P.A. Share-A-Meal Food Bank and P.A. Northern Bus Lines for their continued partnership with the LDSCR.
 
Archery – Eagles Nest Youth Ranch
The LDSCR Urban Youth Sport Program took the opportunity to partner with Eagles Nest Youth Ranch and sponsored registrations for nine youth to take part in the Timberland Bow Bender Archery Club throughout the 2010/2011 year.
 
Higher Spirits Curling Program
This after-school 4-week curling program was   offered to youth ages 10 – 13 years from King George, Vincent Massey, Riverside and Turgeon Community Schools. With the assistance of some fantastic coaches from the P.A. Golf & Curling Club, we were able to provide over 30 youth with the opportunity to learn some basic curling skills and play the game.
