Why Foothills?
“I chose to join Foothills because of the club’s strong history and its ambitious vision to change the landscape of Canadian soccer. With such a large and passionate community, Foothills has a unique opportunity to positively impact a huge number of players, coaches, and families. At a time when the game in Canada continues to grow and gain momentum, the chance to contribute to a club with that level of reach and ambition was something I found incredibly exciting.”
