We are proud to announce our partnership with Atleta, one of Canada's leading student-athlete recruiting organizations! Atleta representatives will be in attendance at our camps in order to help educate the players about their pathways and careers at the USPORTS or CCAA level. Here's a message from our new partners!

“There are many factors that limit our athletes ability to reach the “next level”.  We don’t believe things like financial means, geographic location, who know’s who, sport politics, etc should be in this conversation.  So we removed them.  Atleta is a platform that brings athletes and coaches together all in one place for recruitment and scholarship opportunities.  If you have ever dreamed of playing sports for a college or university in Canada, let us introduce you to Atleta. With Atleta, you have access to every coach within USPORTS and CCAA who coaches any of the popular sports in Canada we service.  They are literally a click away.  Becoming a varsity athlete has never been at your fingertips.  It is now.”
