Performance Resources
Sport Manitoba is a non-profit organization, and we partner with over 100 provincial and community organizations to plan and fund amateur sport programs. We also lead our own programs, including Team Manitoba and the Manitoba Games powered by Manitoba Hydro. Revenue generated from our facility and programs, like the performance centre, clinic, fitness memberships, court rentals, and summer camps, is reinvested into amateur sport and community programs across the province.
Multi-sport events are exciting, but may bring unique challenges for you and your teammates. We’ve put together some helpful resources to help you get ready for the Games.
