Join Varsity Blues for a fun-filled evening of activity! Families will participate in the U Can Move Physical Literacy program, and then cheer on the Varsity Blues men’s hockey team in the U of T Varsity Arena.
What is the U Can Move program?
Physical literacy is an essential part of a healthy and active lifestyle! Just like ABCs are important in learning how to read, Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) and Fundamental Sports Skills (FSS) are building blocks that allow children to move with confidence, play with skill and have fun in the long term! Being active for life is the ultimate goal.
From 5:45 – 6:30 pm, you’ll have the chance to participate in:
Active Start with caregiver — Children walking to age 3
Active Start + FUNdamentals — Children ages 4 – 12
Pizza will be served to families participating in the U Can Move Physical Literacy Program.
Additional Notes:
- Children should dress for physical activity, in running shoes and comfortable clothing.
- Children aged 18 months to 12 years of age are welcome.
- Children under the age of four MUST participate with an adult and a maximum of two children per adult is permitted.
- This is a not a drop off program, caregivers must remain at all times.
- The Varsity Arena can be very cold, crowded and loud at hockey games. You may want to bring earplugs and warm clothes for children. The arena is concrete with many stairs. Please supervise younger children carefully and remain within arm’s reach at all times for safety. Strollers cannot be brought into the arena, but may be left outside.
