- Empowering girls in sports: Many of our former players went on to receive full-ride scholarships in many esteemed Candian and US Colleges. But every girl has learned how to work in a team environment, be adaptable and set goals and execute them.
- Sportsmanship: Our emphasis is on sportsmanship. Sportsmanship and fair play are not only encouraged but it is expected of the players, the parents and the Coaches.
- Free Training: We offer free winter training for players.

In the past, students from Burnaby schools have been recognized along with various school facilities with noteworthy achievements in sustainability.
We are a youth for youth initiative that thrives to empower the next generation to take action for a better community, and for a better world.
Part of that goal is to provide the tools for the next generation, and help them with their own action plans, startups and offer life education. (Education not found in our current school systems); and another part is to deter youth from the path of crime and violence , which in recent years has gained prominence in the streets of Vancouver and the lower mainland.
Our programs are divided up into two main outlets, our Mini series and Mega series camps.
The Mini series was held on February 23rd and 24th in Surrey.
Our Mega series is a four days, three nights camp that happens in the month of March 28th – 31st. This is where we invite speakers, and activity co-ordinators from across the country and around the world to interact with participating youth. We also offer workshops for the students to take part in, and provide them with mentors for life. We have also received a letter of recognition from the Honourable prime minister of Canada Mr. Justin Trudeau.
We were wondering if you knew of any students in grades 7-12 that would benefit from attending our mega series camps, as well as any students in grades k-7 that would take away something from our mini series workshops.
