A national month-long initiative to try something new. April 2026 is all about trying something new. Across Canada, individuals, families, classrooms, teams, and communities are invited to explore new sports, movements, and ways to connect.
Ready, Set, Try! encourages people of all ages and abilities to discover new sports and physical activities in a fun, welcoming, and low-barrier way.
What is READY, SET, TRY!
Ready, Set, Try! Is a national initiative led by Sport for Life that encourages Canadians to step outside their routine and try a new sport or physical activity.
Through a fun, interactive online Bingo Card, you can explore different ways to move – at home, in your community, or with local sport organizations.
No pressure. No experience required. Just an opportunity to try.
Follow us on social media and play your bingo card throughout April.
