NEW BASKETBALL PROGRAM
FOR FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS
Official Launch September, 19th
@ LWCC
Program begins October 2012
Athletes, Coaches and
Parents, We welcome you to join us for the Official Athlete Initiative launch
party on Wednesday, September 19th, 815pm at the Linden Woods Community Centre.
MISSION STATEMENT:
Empowering today's female
athletes to become successful at all levels through specific skills camps,
individual sessions, mentorship and leadership training.
Sports has always played an
important and integral role in our lives and for that we carry on our
experiences, good or bad, and allow that to shape us into the people we are
today, and who we want to become.
WHAT WE DO?
We are the complimentary
program that provides you with more opportunity to achieve your personal goals,
and whether you are just starting out or have been around the game for awhile
or an elite player looking to play at the University level, this program is for
everyone. We host specific skills camps,
tournaments, leadership workshops, 1 on 1 individual sessions, and we also host
open gyms to scrimmage. Accessibility is what distinguishes us from other
programs.
Our intentions are genuine,
as we invest in athletes at all levels to become successful with collaborative
efforts from University level athletes and passionate coaches to help bridge
the gap between average and elite.
