West Coast Kinetics at Motionball 2026
West Coast Kinetics Celebrates Our Third Year at motionball for Special Olympics
West Coast Kinetics was thrilled to return to motionball Vancouver for our third year supporting Special Olympics athletes and an organization that brings together sport, inclusion, and community.
Participating in motionball has become an event our team looks forward to each year. As kinesiologists, we see firsthand how powerful movement and sport can be—not only for physical health, but also for confidence, connection, independence, and quality of life. Supporting an event that shares these values makes motionball particularly meaningful to our team.
What is motionball?
motionball is a national not-for-profit organization that raises funds and awareness for the Special Olympics Canada Foundation. Its events bring together Special Olympics athletes, community members, businesses, and volunteers through sport while helping to create more opportunities for Canadians with intellectual disabilities to participate in Special Olympics programs.
The Vancouver Marathon of Sport gives participants the opportunity to compete alongside local Special Olympics athletes in a variety of sports throughout the day. The result is a fun and competitive environment centred around teamwork and inclusion.
Our Third Year of Getting Involved
This year marked West Coast Kinetics’ third motionball event, and we were incredibly proud to once again get involved and support participants throughout the day.
For our team, participating goes beyond simply attending an event. It gives us an opportunity to use our background in kinesiology and exercise to help participants get moving, prepare their bodies for activity, and enjoy a full day of sport.
Most importantly, it gives us the chance to meet and participate alongside the Special Olympics athletes who make the event what it is.
After three years, motionball has become a meaningful part of how West Coast Kinetics connects with the broader Vancouver community.
Movement is for Everyone
At West Coast Kinetics, one of our core beliefs is that movement should be accessible and meaningful for everyone.
Whether someone is rehabilitating an injury, learning how to exercise for the first time, working toward an athletic goal, or simply trying to remain active and independent, there is tremendous value in having opportunities to move in a supportive environment.
Events like motionball are a great reminder that sport is about much more than performance. Sport can create friendships, build confidence, bring communities together, and give people a sense of belonging.
Those are values we strive to bring into our clinic every day.
Thank You, motionball!
A huge thank you to the motionball organizers, volunteers, supporters, and Special Olympics athletes who made this year’s event possible.
We’re incredibly grateful to have participated for a third year and proud to support an organization that is creating opportunities for Special Olympics athletes across Canada.
Three years down—and we hope there are many more to come!
