THE PLEDGE
By Sporting A Rainbow, I understand that all athletes, coaches and competitors deserve to participate in sport free of judgment. I can help by speaking up against hateful speech and actions in my sport.
Because it's about more than just the game.

TO ALL COACHES, ATHLETES AND ORGANIZATIONS
Sport A Rainbow is a reminder to be supportive, respectful and kind to each other despite our differences. This support can be shown in your everyday life at school, work, extracurricular activities and in the sporting community.
We are encouraging Coaches, Athletes and Organizations to join the Inclusion in Sport Movement.
By placing a Sport A Rainbow logo on your helmet (CSA approved), or uniform you will be trail-blazing for others in your Sport. The time is now to make change and we want you to be leaders in this movement.
