UCDSB piloting new sports initiative in schools

Expanding sports opportunities for all students in the Upper Canada District School Board.

Board officials say that is the goal behind a new sports initiative that will be piloted in 2025 called All-In Sports.

The new league will provide all young interested athletes the opportunity to learn and play sports in a structured environment while also allowing more students to attend more sporting events.

Students will have the opportunity to play traditional sports such as basketball while also learning new sports and activities such as handball. The new league will run in addition to any intramurals that currently take place at schools, not replace it. 

All-In Sports will run at no cost to families and a steering committee of community members, educators and coaches has been established with representation from across the district.

Twenty schools are part of the official pilot with more than twenty-five schools requesting to come on board.
