The BC Lions are sending players to teach local Indigenous youth how to play football – Vancouver Is Awesome
It’ll end with a tournament and a VIP experience at a Lions game
The BC Lions are launching a new program, aiming to teach Indigenous youth football — and life — skills.
The CFL team is partnering with the Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity and Recreational Council (ISPARC) on the program, which is sending players to fields across the Lower Mainland to coach the kids.
“The training and skill development provided through the BC Lions Indigenous Youth Program will have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of Indigenous athletes, both on and off the field,” says Rick Bran, the CEO of ISPARC.
