CANADA — From the grassroots level to the International stage, Women’s Basketball is on the rise in Canada.

At the university and college levels, the growth is especially true.

Each and every season, the level of parity in all leagues continues to grow. The talent level is always changing for the better, and more and more teams find themselves competing for both Provincial and National Champions with each passing season.

Yet, the Women’s Game in Canada doesn’t get the level of attention it deserves.

It’s time to change that.

We’re putting the spotlight firmly on Women’s Basketball in Canada, highlighting female coaches from coast-to-coast while trying to inspire the next generation of basketball minds.

We are introducing the First Annual SpeakHER Series, powered by Four Quarters Media.

The focus of the event is to provide players, coaches, and parents with an opportunity to hear from some of the top Female Coaches across Canada in a live Question and Answer setting. Our goal is to highlight the different paths that these coaches took to get to where they are today, all while offering words of encouragement and support to the next generation of basketball minds.
