Beyond Sport LogoThe Family Sports Festival serves as a kick-off event to the Beyond Sport Summit; a unique event designed to celebrate, promote and drive forward sport-led social change. The Summit brings together those who use sport as a vehicle to create social impact, with influencers from the world of business, government and federations whose attitudes and decisions can have substantial impact. The Summit takes place on September 29 and 30.
 
WSC has launched “Coach for Chicago” (CFC) to address the lack of coaches and people with sports knowledge to support local sports programs. Coach for Chicago matches schools, parks and social service organizations with enthusiastic volunteers who are committed to helping the youth of Chicago!
World Sport Chicago is partnering with the Chicago Park District, Illinois Swimming and the City of Chicago as a local partner in USA Swimming's National Make-a-Splash Campaign. Make-a-Splash is aimed at increasing awareness around the issues of water-safety and participation in local Learn-to-Swim opportunities, particularly in ethnically diverse communities.
World Sport Chicago has partnered with Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Park District, Chicago Wrestling Coaches Association (CWCA), Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF) and other wrestling sport partners in the city of Chicago to help expand and enhance Public League Wrestling. Through targeted initiatives such as equipment grants, coaching clinics, and connecting clubs with resources at the national level, WSC aims to provide the Public League with similar opportunities as its suburban peers.

Israa Salem
Paralympic Track and Field


This spring was the first time Israa Salem ever learned about running track or throwing field implements. A school based program organized by the Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association and supported by World Sport Chicago made trying these new sports a possibility for Israa. Living with a visual disability may be a challenge, but Israa has met it head on and enjoyed her first foray into sport.
