Insights, stories, and perspectives from our team.
Ben Bradshaw's first memory of soccer has nothing to do with a save, a goal, or even a ball. He was five years old, lined up with every other kid on his team, and the coach went down the row checking that everyone's shoes were tied.

Paige Morris's mom remembers the moment it happened. One day the walls of her room were covered in gymnastics posters. A couple of weeks later, every single one was gone. In their place: soccer posters, her dad's photos, a completely different world pinned up above her bed.

Brianna Langelaan didn't grow up dreaming about the NCAA. She grew up on a dairy farm in East Richmond where milking time takes two and a half hours, twice a day, every day, and somebody always has to do it.

Alix Boogemans didn't fall in love with soccer on her own. She was bribed into it. When she was seven, her dad wanted her to play a sport. So he pointed at this pink chair she'd been obsessing over and made her a deal: start playing soccer, and the chair is yours.

Cole Rodricks doesn't fit the typical profile of a Canada Soccer C-License holder. For starters, he's 17. The minimum age to even apply for the certification is 18, and most coaches working through the rigorous program are established adults with years of experience.

On January 23, 2018, the Tsawwassen baseball community lost one of its brightest talents. Kyle Losse, just 14 years old, passed away from complications of a massive stroke, leaving behind a legacy that would transform youth baseball in British Columbia.

Through team sports, I discovered something fundamental: with the right goal and enough determination, I could achieve anything. The confidence I gained, the friendships I built, the experiences I collected didn't just fill my childhood memories. They formed the foundation of who I am.
