TELUS She CAN Coach is a national coach recruitment, development, and training initiative designed to address the barriers women face in soccer participation. As a club-based initiative, TELUS She CAN Coach engages and collaborates with community clubs across participating provinces to strengthen our game—aiming to close the gender gap in participation by increasing the number of women coaches at the grassroots level.
