Playing
for Keeps

TCF strives to give all children and youth the opportunity to experience the fun of being a child and not be excluded from the activities their friends are enjoying. The Playing for Keeps program helps to pay registration fees for families who may not otherwise be able to.

​

Sports and recreational activities positively impact the development of a child's body and mind.   When kids play sports, they learn to play as a member of a team, developing both physical and social skills all while having fun!  Other benefits include but are not limited to, improved self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and mental health and development.​
