This month, Athletics4Kids is proud to introduce Victoria, a skilled cheerleader and dancer based in Vancouver—as November’s Athlete of the Month. She only started cheerleading last year when she was accepted into the program, and has been training ever since.

Edward is A4K’s talented, multi-sport athlete, learning skills in hockey, tennis, and baseball. He started with tennis at age 7, then began baseball and hockey when he was 8 years old. Although learning different kinds of sports can be hard, Edward keeps his head up as he gets to play with different players and friends, while learning and improving through help from his coaches and teammates.

Joey is A4K’s rising star in baseball. At just 5 & a half years old, he has already been playing baseball for over 2 years! His favourite things about baseball is learning how to hit balls with the bat and running to all the bases. Right now, he’s learning how to pitch and he can’t wait to become a stronger pitcher with more practice and training from his coaches.

Gymnastics isn't just about physical activity for Joelle; it's a source of joy, challenge, and camaraderie. From the rush of competition to the sense of accomplishment with each new skill mastered, Joelle finds fulfillment in every aspect of the sport. And thanks to A4K, she's been able to fully immerse herself in this passion, staying active, fit, and healthy along the way. Joelle's mother shared that she has developed invaluable skills such as discipline, time management, and teamwork.
