July 8, 2025 – Winnipeg, MB – KidSport Manitoba is proud to welcome Taylor McCaffrey LLP as its Volleyball Champion for the 2025–2026 season. This impactful partnership will provide 32 kids across the province with the chance to play organized volleyball.
In a year when nearly 1,800 children received over $660,000 in funding through KidSport Manitoba, the need continues to grow. For too many families, sport registration fees remain a barrier. This partnership helps break those down, opening the door for more kids to experience the physical, social, and emotional benefits of sport.
Volleyball continues to rise in popularity across Manitoba, with a record-breaking 4,844 kids playing and 239 teams competing in provincial events last year. It’s a sport rooted in teamwork and inclusion, values that align closely with Taylor McCaffrey’s client-focused philosophy and community commitment.
This partnership is about more than helping kids play a sport; it’s about unlocking their potential. Sport builds confidence, leadership, and resilience. It creates opportunities for belonging, post-secondary education, and a healthier future. Together, KidSport Manitoba and Taylor McCaffrey LLP are helping make that possible, one volleyball registration at a time.
