We’re incredibly excited to introduce SportsAid Connect, powered by RBC!

A brand-new app and website, and the first independent, cross-sport community platform of its kind for SportsAid-supported athletes, parents, caregivers and alumni.

For years, SportsAid has supported emerging athletes with funding and opportunities to help them progress in sport. But we also know the journey involves so much more, not only for athletes, but also for the parents and caregivers supporting them every step of the way.

The early mornings. The travel. The balancing act between education, training and wellbeing. The pressure, uncertainty and challenges that can often feel isolating.

Too often, athletes and families don’t know where to turn for trusted support, especially when expert guidance can be costly and difficult to access.

SportsAid Connect has been created to bring people together through those experiences.

As a safe, private and moderated space, the platform combines expert guidance, practical resources and a supportive community where athletes, parents and caregivers can connect with others who truly understand the athlete pathway.

Made possible through the support of RBC, SportsAid Connect represents an exciting new chapter in how we support young people and the wider communities around them.

We’re so proud to launch this new space for the SportsAid community and can’t wait to see it grow.
