Our Mission

FunTeam aims to foster, through active leadership, the participation in sport for children, youth, and adults, in an atmosphere where enjoyment is maximized for all and the cost associated with equipment, facility use and participation is minimized.


FunTeam Alberta was founded in 1990 by Dr. Randy Gregg. He saw a need for a community based, low cost, and less competitive sporting opportunities for children and their parents. As a result, Dr. Gregg and some of his colleagues formed FunTeam Alberta.

Our Vision

To see children, youth and adults in every community in Alberta participating in sport activities in an atmosphere of fun, co-operation and fair play.


To facilitate development in sport with the participation of parents and other supportive adults in the playing atmosphere.


To establish programs and events which expand the exposure of the FunTeam concept and also provide for the sustainability of the provincial FunTeam organization.

 

Our Principles

1.

Low Cost

FunTeam activities use inexpensive equipment and local facilities such as outdoor rinks, school gymnasiums and playing fields.

2.

Less Competitive

FunTeam offers the opportunity for individuals to play sports and to do their best.

3.

Family Involvement

FunTeam encourages parents and children to play together.

4.

Complementary to Organized Sport

FunTeam provides another option for them. Organized sport may be too expensive, too time consuming or too competitive.

5.

Safety

FunTeam activities take place in a safe environment which allows individuals and families to try something new or improve on existing skills.

6.

Manageable Time Commitment

The time commitment for families is quite manageable.

7.

Skill Development

Children, youth, and adults develop important social and physical skills in positive learning environments.

8.

Fair Play

FunTeam incorporates the concept of fair play into activities.
