About us
Sport Central Association is a Canadian registered charity that receives, refurbishes & repairs, then redistributes sports equipment to Kids who may not have access or opportunity. We serve Kids ages 4-17 from Red Deer, up to the northern border of Alberta. We collect equipment for over 20 different sports and have 46 equipment donation locations (and growing) in the Greater Edmonton Area. In addition to the kids we serve through our front door, we have a community outreach program which sends bulk shipments of equipment, locally and regionally, to communities, community leagues, and schools to help build sports related programming. We are committed to keeping equipment out of the landfills by repairing whatever we can and recycling materials we cannot (such as rubber bike tires and metal— we recycle over 20 tonnes of metal annually). The Impact for 2023: - 2,142 pieces of equipment repaired - 1,956 helmets repaired - 2,293 pairs of skates sharpened - 2,241 bikes repaired - 10,534 KIDS OUTFITTED WITH SPORTS EQUIPMENT (48% increase in our services over the previous year) With your help spreading the word about our services, you too are changing lives through sport!

🏒HOCKEY GEAR. SEASON'S HERE!🏒 The best part of gearing up for hockey season? Seeing the joy in kids’ eyes as they step onto the rink. This 6-year-old is all suited up and ready for his second year on the ice, and it’s so rewarding to see him continue his journey in the sport he loves. With the season just around the corner, we’re busy fitting young players like him, making sure they’re ready to score big on fun. Empowering kids, one piece of sports equipment at a time— is our mission, and we’re committed to helping them play, grow, and succeed! #YEGKids #YEGCharity #HockeySeason #YEG

🛼WE'RE ON A ROLL! 🛼 In July, Sport Central volunteers zoomed through 116 rollerblade repairs, getting more kids ready to skate, play, and have a spin-tacular time. Got some rollerblades that are more ‘shelf decoration’ than ‘skate sensation’? 😉 Donate them to Sport Central and let’s keep the fun rolling for kids everywhere! Donate to one of our donation locations today! 📍 View the link below. https://lnkd.in/gh4Pq5dJ #SportCentralScoreboard #ChangingLivesThroughSport #YEGVolunteers
