Soccer Nova Scotia is thrilled to announce we have been announced as a Provincial Partner for the inaugural launch and first phase of the nationwide Canada Soccer’s She CAN Coach Program.
She CAN Coach is a national coach recruitment, development, and training project designed for women to address the challenges they face regarding soccer participation. Women sports leaders play a critical role in creating a welcoming and safe space for girls in sport. This program will strive to support and advance gender equity in sport by breaking down the barriers of entry for women to coach, with the desired outcome to balance the gender gap in participation between boys and girls.
“She CAN Coach will align clubs nationwide to actively recruit, develop and inspire women to become coaches in our game by eliminating barriers, providing a welcoming environment, and ensuring all women interested in coaching have a place where they feel they belong.” Sara McConaghy, Manager of Development Programming, Canada Soccer
