Earlier this month, Canada Soccer announced the expansion of its TELUS She CAN Coach Program to Community Clubs based in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia for its second year in 2024.

We are now pleased to inform you of the application window for the program, which will be from July 2 to August 4, 2024. The application portal will be available on Canada Soccer’s website. Please note, the application window will only be visible/available on July 2.

Community Clubs in Ontario are eligible to participate in the program and are encouraged to submit an application, starting on July 2.

Any questions on the program can be directed to Canada Soccer’s Brynn Nash at bnash@canadasoccer.com.

TELUS She CAN Coach is a national coach recruitment, development, and training project designed for women to address the challenges they face regarding soccer participation.

This program differs from a typical mentorship program as it involves recruitment, training, and development. It aims to recruit and support new, entry-level women coaches at community-based clubs beginning their Canada Soccer Grassroots Coach Education. 

Selected Clubs will recruit 8-10 women coaches to their community club to begin their Grassroots Coach Education training and participate in the program.

TELUS She CAN Coach will strive to support and advance gender equity in soccer by reducing the barriers to entry for women coaches. Canada Soccer and its Provincial Partners aim to increase the number of women coaches and encourage more girls to engage in the sport.
