Parents
“Your child’s success or lack of success in sport does not indicate what kind of parent you are. But, having an athlete that is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, patient, resilient, and tries their best, is a direct reflection of your parenting.”
Fundraising
Fundraising is important to our organization in order to keep registration fees low. We are fortunate to have some of the lowest registration fees in the province, but we need to continuously fundraise in order to keep it this way.
More information about this season's fundraisers to come.
