Children & Youth Programs

The RA is a great place for children and youth.

RA junior programs are designed for children and youths who are looking for diverse, positive and inclusive experiences.  Following the Sport for Life philosophy and Long-Term Development (LTD) stages, programs are built on a wide-base of fundamental movement skills with a physical literacy focus. All instructional and coaching programs are delivered by certified coaches and top professionals in their field.
 
Our Member Services team is always happy to answer your questions and take your registration. Do not hesitate to contact them at 613-733-5100. Contact us...

Inclusion & Accessibility
The RA strives to offer programs which are welcoming to all participants. We are strongly committed to working with families to support and accommodate diverse needs and abilities to ensure each child is able to integrate into the program, feel included, supported and ultimately to have an unforgettable time! We ask that parents connect with us before registering if your child may require additional support so we can explore together how we can accommodate them to the best of our ability with the available resources we have in place.
