Youth Sports Club Directory Opens to the Public, No Login

OTTAWA — The Play 2 Earn Sports youth sports club directory is open to the public. Parents and players can browse clubs in 18 sports across Canada and the United States, filter by sport, country and province or state, or search by name. No account is needed to browse.

The change removes the sign-in step that stood between a family and a list of local clubs.

What can you do in the club directory?

  • Pick a sport: the filter covers all 18 supported sports.
  • Narrow the area: filter by country, then province or state.
  • Search by name: find a club you already know.
  • Open the club: see its public profile, then register free to connect with it.

Families who want to follow a club, see its schedule or keep a player profile create a free account and join through the club.

Who is it for?

The directory is for parents comparing options before registration, players moving to a new city and adults looking for a community team. It is also a public shop window for clubs: a club with a clear profile is easier to find.

How should parents compare clubs?

A directory listing is a starting point, not an endorsement. Before you register, ask each club:

  • Is it a member of the sport's provincial association, so games are sanctioned and insured?
  • Have coaches completed screening and Safe Sport training, such as the free Coaching Association of Canada course?
  • What is the concussion protocol? In Ontario, Rowan's Law sets rules for many amateur sport organizations.
  • What does the season cost, and is fee help available? Programs such as Canadian Tire Jumpstart and KidSport help families with registration costs.

What about privacy?

The club directory lists clubs, not children. The companion player directory shows only sport, city and club in its public view.

How do clubs get listed?

Clubs join by creating a club on the platform. Club Starter sets up a public profile, teams and schedules, and it is free for clubs.

What comes next

Play 2 Earn Sports is also publishing researched city guides for Canadian cities, with verified clubs, places to play, costs and fee help, on the Canada hub. A parent guide series is scheduled for the stories page.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to browse clubs?

No. The Play 2 Earn Sports club directory is public, and you can browse and search it without an account. You only create a free account when you want to connect with a club, follow its schedule or keep a player profile for your child.

Which sports and countries are covered?

The directory covers all 18 sports supported on Play 2 Earn Sports, including soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball, volleyball, swimming and gymnastics. It lists clubs in Canada and the United States, and you can filter by province or state.

Does a listing mean a club is approved?

No. A listing means the club is on the platform. Check sanctioning with your provincial sport association, ask about coach screening and Safe Sport training, and confirm the club's concussion protocol before you register.

Is it free for clubs to be listed?

Yes. Play 2 Earn Sports is free for clubs. A club creates its profile with Club Starter and appears in the directory. Sponsorship support is a separate, reviewed and eligibility-based program, and it is never guaranteed.
