MLSE Launchpad: Programs and support for youth facing barriers
The purpose of this project is to provide information, resources, and visibility to women in the sport of Field Hockey, and to showcase the opportunities available to Canadian, female-identifying athletes, to excel within sport using Field Hockey to discover their own internal strength, courage, leadership, communication skills and to enforce the value of teamwork and sport-based friendships.
Girls need to see themselves in the game to appreciate and consider their own future involvement. This is critical for the future health of field hockey, the health of sport in general, and to help keep women in the game. We must intentionally feature successful female coaches, officials, administrators, and leaders in our field hockey community, at all levels.
This project celebrates, promotes and connects the amazing women and girls in our communities across Canada. It has been made possible thanks to the support of Government of Canada.
