Canadian Sport for Life

Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) is a national framework promoting long-term participation and excellence in physical activity and sport across all ages and skill levels. It emphasizes a development pathway that encourages individuals to engage in appropriate, progressive activities—starting from childhood through adulthood—focusing on fun, lifelong health, and skill-building. The approach supports coaches, organizations, and communities in creating environments that nurture physical literacy, ensuring people develop the confidence, competence, and motivation to stay active throughout their lives. Ultimately, CS4L aims to improve health, social inclusion, and sport performance nationwide.
