Evening all, 

This week we celebrate – National Coaches Week!

National Coaches Week, September 14-20, is a time to celebrate the positive impact coaches have on athletes and communities across Canada. This annual campaign is an opportunity to recognize coaches for the integral role they play, and to take time to say #ThanksCoach!

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a team of dedicated coaches who provide excellent programs for all age groups. They go above and beyond each and every week and we are very grateful. Take time this week to let them know how special they are and light up your social media with #Thanks Coach!
