Stay in the Game Youth Sports

We picked up our beautiful new banners from Little Rock Printing in Inglewood and we couldn’t be happier!

The colours are bold, the quality is incredible, and the whole process was seamless. We love supporting local businesses — especially ones that truly care about community.

If you’re looking for printing in Calgary, we highly recommend them. Buying local makes a difference, and this is what it looks like. 👏

Happy Valentine’s Day from Stay in the Game Youth Sports ❤️🏀

Today we celebrate more than the game — we celebrate the teammates who lift each other up, the coaches who lead with heart, the parents who cheer from the sidelines, and the kids who show up brave, bold, and ready to play.

At Stay in the Game, love looks like:
❤️ Inclusion
❤️ Belonging
❤️ Affirmation
❤️ And making sure every kid has a place on the court

Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us create spaces where every young athlete feels valued, supported, and seen.

Play with heart. Lead with love.

Claim: “Trans participation is new and untested.”
Reality: Trans athletes have competed for decades.

We hope to change this!

About 1 in 8 LGBTQ+ U.S. students got 60 min of daily physical activity, while straight students are 2-3x as likely to meet this goal due to opportunities to get active in school and in their community.

Love Elliot Page! Stand up for your rights!

More Than A Game | American Civil Liberties Union This year, SCOTUS will determine whether states can ban transgender students from youth sports — but the ACLU and women’s sports stars are teaming up in support of trans youth, their families, and their right to be themselves.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍⚧️

To every young athlete out there: Be proud of who you are. Your identity is your strength, not your limitation.

Inclusion in sports means every kid gets to play, grow, and thrive—without having to hide any part of themselves. Whether you’re chasing a ball, spiking a volleyball, running the track, or cheering from the sidelines—you belong.

🌟 Pride is about being seen. Heard. Valued. And in youth sports, that means making space for all kids to show up as their full selves—with confidence, courage, and joy.

To the young LGBTQ2S+ athletes: Keep playing. Keep showing up. The game is better with you in it.

We’re proud of you. We see you. We’re cheering for you—this month and always. 💖💪🌈
