Coach C.J.

Hi everyone! My name is Cassandra, but most of you know me by my nickname C.J. Before I joined the Kiddies Sports Academy family, I completed my undergraduate degree in Political Science at Brock University where I also played 4 years on the varsity women’s soccer team. My love for soccer continues to flourish as I coach the young athletes involved in Kiddies Sports Academy and I aspire to share my experience and love for the game with the next generation of athletes. Moving forward, my future aspirations is to become an elementary school teacher and continue my learning experience beyond sports and into the classroom. 

Coach Victoria

Hi everyone, my name is Victoria! Physical health has always been a big interest of mine and I have loved promoting physical health maintenance through my time here at Kiddie Sports Academy. I grew up playing competitive hockey and soccer and have come to appreciate the various life skills it has instilled in myself, such as cooperation, confidence, and leadership abilities. The same skills that Kiddie Sports Academy advocates for and strives to instill in all who participate. I have been fortunate enough to work with a great group of coaches and I look forward to coaching and continuing to promote physical activity in the up-and-coming youth.

Coach Brianna

Hi! I’m Brianna, I’m 16 years old, and currently a grade eleven student. I have played soccer on a regional level, and more recently I have been training with an international academy team. I have been playing competitively for over a decade, and I’m very happy to be surrounded by the next generation of great players.

Coach Victor

Hello I’m Coach Victor, I joined Kiddie sports in 2023 and I’ve been having a blast ever since! A little about me; I have been involved in sports since I was 5 years old and have never stopped loving them. The two main sports I focused on were basketball and soccer. Being a member of Kiddie Sports Academy has brought me great joy, being able to see and help with; athletic growth, sports knowledge growth and growth overall as an individual, within each child at their own pace in each session. The reason this brings joy is because equipping children with sport knowledge, skills and lessons in my opinion will tremendously help with their sports journey and their journey of life in general, as it has done in mine. I have been able to learn many lessons through sports that have helped or aided in my experience in general life as well!
