What Drives Us

Core Values

1

Building Confidence

Junior Athletes creates an environment where participants can develop skills, take on new challenges, and build confidence through steady progress. The focus is on helping each athlete feel capable, supported, and proud of their growth.

2

Positivity Over Rankings

We prioritize encouragement, effort, and personal development over standings, rankings, or comparison. Success is measured by participation, improvement, teamwork, and the confidence athletes gain along the way.

3

Discovering a Love for Sport

Through fun, active, and supportive programming, athletes are encouraged to build skills while developing a lasting enjoyment of movement and sport.

NOT-FOR-PROFIT. COMMUNITY-POWERED.

When you choose Junior Athletes, your community wins too.

Back into the program

Registration fees pay for great coaches, quality equipment, and gym space across Ottawa.

Sport for every family

Through our partnership with Their Opportunity, kids from low-income families can play at no cost.

Jobs for local coaches

We hire and train coaches from our own community, with certifications like Safe Sport and NCCP. We even cover their NCCP course fees.

Room for every kid

Your registration helps us offer 1:1 coaches for kids who need a little extra support to jump in.
