Everybody knows that Calgary is a hockey city. As such, KidSport Calgary along with the Calgary Flames Sports Bank help hundreds of children play hockey each year!
But did you know that hockey isn’t the number one sport we support?
This past year, KidSport Calgary and the Calgary Flames Sports Bank were able to help a record number of children get onto the pitch and play the world’s most popular sport: Soccer!
Over 3,000 soccer players were assisted with registration fees in 2025 for a total of over $1.1 million. This is thanks to many fundraisers, public and private donations, corporate sponsorships, and our fantastic partnerships.
Many of these children also needed soccer equipment to play. The Calgary Flames Sports Bank was lucky enough to help many of these families with no cost equipment, so they had the proper equipment to play.
In 2025 the Calgary Flames Sports Bank was able to help over 1,500 kids with over 3300 pieces of equipment including:
Over 800 soccer balls.
Over 800 indoor or outdoor soccer cleats.
Over 400 shin guards.
Over 500 pairs of soccer socks.
Over 300 pairs of shorts and jerseys.
None of this is possible without you, Calgary! Your equipment and financial donations had a direct impact in helping all these children get off the sidelines and onto the soccer pitch.
We need your assistance now more than ever. With the rising cost in both registration fees and equipment, we need your help to assist even more children in 2026.
Help us by making a financial donation, donating your kid's old cleats during our 2026 City Wide Cleat Drive, or by visiting our website and learning about additional ways to get involved!
Let’s set another record in 2026 Calgary!
