“My Active Kid” Video Contest

Kids are amazing — they play soccer, hockey, baseball, tennis, they ski, skateboard climb, run and jump. There is no end to what a healthy child can do. They are amazing because they are physically literate. As toddlers, they learn fundamental movement skills; as they get older they show how they are adapting those skills to a variety of activities and sports.

Are your kids active in a variety of sports or activities such as dance, gymnastics and swimming? Here’s a chance to show others why physical literacy is a key part of a healthy childhood. Show us how they are doing it. Tell us their story in a short video and you’ll be entered in a draw to win some Lululemon gear. We’ll put the best videos on our YouTube page.

How to get started? Show us the variety of sports your children participate in; or talk about the program or activity that got your kid moving; introduce us to the coach who had an approach to sport that emphasized fun and skill development, which made all the difference; or share with other parents some techniques, tricks and wisdom on how to raise physically literate kids.

You don’t need a fancy video camera. Use your Flip, your iPhone or other mobile device.
And you can shoot anywhere: in your home, in the backyard or on the field.
Videos should be between one and two minutes in length.
