Canada Soccer Announces Clubs Participating in the TELUS She Can Coach Program for Year 3

Canada Soccer is proud to announce that 54 clubs across five provinces - British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland & Labrador - have been selected to participate in Year 3 of the TELUS She CAN Coach program. 

TELUS She CAN Coach is a national coach recruitment, development, and training initiative designed to address the barriers women face in soccer participation. As a club-based initiative, TELUS She CAN Coach engages and collaborates with community clubs across participating provinces to strengthen our game—aiming to close the gender gap in participation by increasing the number of women coaches at the grassroots level. 

This year marks a continued expansion from the program’s first two years, which together have engaged 70 community clubs and over 600 women coaches, reinforcing Canada Soccer’s commitment to increasing the representation of women coaches in grassroots soccer. Of the 54 participating clubs, 15 are returning, while the remainder are new to the program.
