On behalf of the Canadian Soccer Association, we would like to congratulate and commend all players and coaches for their hard work and dedication in reaching the AAA Girls Soccer BC High School Provincials 2013, and extend our appreciation to Argyle Secondary School, the host of the competition.
The Canadian Soccer Association is proud to be at the heart of a vibrant soccer community, and in partnership with its membership and its partners, provides leadership in the pursuit of excellence in soccer, both at the national and international levels and strives to lead Canada to victory, but also encourages Canadians to a life-long passion for soccer. We look forward to welcoming the world to Canada and to Vancouver for the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015.
Victor Montagliani President, Canadian Soccer Association
The BC School AAA Championships are a fantastic showcase for high school girls soccer and BC Soccer wishes all the very best to the participants from across the Province. BC School Sports and hosts Argyle Secondary School should be congratulated on all of their hard work leading up to the championships and will provide a memorable experience for everyone taking part.
BC Soccer's role is to promote and develop the game of soccer in BC and it is fantastic that almost half of the 120,000 registered soccer players in BC are female. High profile annual championships such as this, along with the growing excitement around the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and Vancouver hosting the final game, and the work of the BC Soccer Diversity Working Group who are focusing on 'Women in Soccer', will further increase awareness, generate opportunities and drive participation for girls and women in soccer.
