KidSport Calgary supports applications for sport programs that meet Sport Canada's definition of sport. Sport Canada defines sport as an activity that involves two or more participants engaging in a competition. It involves formal rules and procedures, and requires tactics, strategies, neuromuscular skills and a high degree of difficulty, risk and effort. It excludes activities in which a motorized vehicle is the primary determinant of the outcome.

Application forms are available on line, or can be mailed to applicants from the KidSport™ Calgary office and are available at all Calgary Co-op locations at Customer Service. Sport clubs may also have the application form readily available for their registrants. Below is some information about the application process:
