Our Mission

FunTeam aims to foster, through active leadership, the participation in sport for children, youth, and adults, in an atmosphere where enjoyment is maximized for all and the cost associated with equipment, facility use and participation is minimized.


FunTeam Alberta was founded in 1990 by Dr. Randy Gregg. He saw a need for a community based, low cost, and less competitive sporting opportunities for children and their parents. As a result, Dr. Gregg and some of his colleagues formed FunTeam Alberta.

Our Vision

To see children, youth and adults in every community in Alberta participating in sport activities in an atmosphere of fun, co-operation and fair play.


To facilitate development in sport with the participation of parents and other supportive adults in the playing atmosphere.


To establish programs and events which expand the exposure of the FunTeam concept and also provide for the sustainability of the provincial FunTeam organization.

 


Our Foundational Principles

1.

Focused on Play

Success within this organization is defined by how much FUN participants, volunteers and family members have when they attend a FunTeam activity. Everyone has fun when sportsmanship, teamwork and fair-play determine winners and not the results on a scoreboard.

2.

Inclusive

FunTeam provides an environment for sport where participants of all skill levels, genders, race and socioeconomic status are supported. Our expectation is that all group members are given equal opportunities to learn, participate and have fun.

3.

Family Oriented

Involved parents are integral to a balanced and healthy lifestyle for their kids. In and out of sport.

4.

Low Cost

FunTeam provides another option for them. Organized sport may be too expensive, too time consuming or too competitive.
