Why participate?

BMO Girls Play ON! is an innovative new girls’ soccer activation and leadership day, engaging girls through coaching and playing opportunities.

The program will create a safe and inclusive environment where girls can:

  • Enjoy a social setting;
  • Play the game they love;
  • Learn about coaching;
  • Mentor and mentee with girl coaches and facilitators.

By participating in this program, girls will be inspired to stay in soccer longer. They will also aspire to continue their soccer career in other avenues than simply playing (coaching, refereeing, volunteering, etc.).
