“We are excited to be bringing Donn back to the program,” said Jake McCallum Director, Athletics and Intramurals. “He has a wealth of experience, is deeply rooted in the soccer community and has a passion for the game that can be nothing but beneficial to our program.”
“It is a great opportunity and privilege for me to be a part of the historic women’s soccer program here at Langara,” stated Coach Sparks. “One of our goals this year is to enhance the student athlete experience, both on and off the pitch, through the establishment of a successful women’s soccer program.”
