Summary

 

Our mission.... To make quality sport education available to anyone, anywhere. 

 

We believe that access to quality online education across key roles in sport will foster a better sport experience for all involved.   Through these positive experiences, safer and healthier communities will evolve.

The Sport Academy education website was conceived as a means to fulfill this mission.

We are a small education development firm based in Ottawa, Canada.  We work with sport organizations to design online and in-person education programs for their members.

Over the past several years, inspired by the efforts of Khan Academy and others, we have felt the need to fulfill a greater purpose and extend the reach of the quality content we are producing.

Access to top quality officials training in all regions, for all participants

The funds raised through this campaign will assist us with our plan to host an education website with FREE online courses for coaches, teachers, officials, volunteers, parents and sport participants, available in multiple languages to all who wish to use it.   Content will be developed with expertise from the sport community, and our firm will contribute time and expertise toward the development of effective interactive online learning modules. 

What We Need

To launch The Sport Academy, we need to raise $45,000.  Funds will go towards these specific costs;

  • Course hosting platform with multi-language capability, tracking and reporting of user progress, ability to utilize a wide range of course content (est $20k)

  • Costs for a part-time developers to work with sport specialists to develop content for the initial launch (est $25k)

  • Promotion and marketing costs - we will use as many free channels as possible

We understand that these are only initial start-up costs.  With the initial funding in place to launch the website with quality content, we plan on pursuing additional support from international sport federations and groups like Right to Play, sportanddev.org, and the International Olympic Committee.
