Telus SHECAN Coach

Empowering the next generation of female leaders in the beautiful game

Nepean Hotspurs is proud to participate in Year 3 of Canada Soccer’s SheCAN Coach program—a national initiative designed to recruit, develop, and inspire female coaches across the country. This year, we’re taking a more personalized and community-focused approach to supporting female leaders in soccer.


Community & Connection

To help build strong relationships, we’ll host:

  • 1–2 social activities for the group
  • Regular check-ins
  • A group chat for ongoing support
  • Coaching events and learning opportunities

About the Program

  • Monthly sessions, offered at a reduced cost
  • Saturdays, 4:00–6:00 PM
  • Female coaches working with female players
  • Focused on fun, development, and mentorship
  • Runs for the duration of the SheCAN initiative
