2024-25 Information

16U-18U COMPETITIVE GIRLS PROGRAM 

Compete against other clubs from across Canada

Striving for performance and being the best you can be at your sport as an individual and team. Local games are used for athlete and team development. Travel 3-5x/season to play other teams from across Canada (travelling to competitions is dependent if we have enough athletes to field a team).

These athletes are expected to show up to all the practices, games, and events, work hard, be responsible, be good teammates and have a growth mindset.*

Communicate with coaches when they cannot attend a practice or an event.

*Growth Mindset - Individuals who believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies & habits, and input from others.

The following events may have a selection process as we anticipate more athletes than spots on the teams travelling.
