Urban Youth Sport Initiative The Urban Youth Sport Initiative, through SaskSport and other organizations, are able to offer sport programming to all youth throughout the city of Regina. We believe that all youth should have the opportunity to learn, develop and practice a wide range of sport skills in a positive setting. Participating in sport contributes not only to healthier living but also to increased levels of self-esteem, confidence, and pride. Simultaneously, sport is an outlet where youth can turn to meet new people and develop important life skills such as commitment, worth ethic, teamwork, and pride. Some of the programs we run, on an annual basis, at no cost to the participant are:
