OUR PHILOSOPHY
TRUE Calgary’s philosophy is built on developing complete athletes—focusing not just on skills and performance, but also on character, leadership, and teamwork. We take pride in creating a competitive yet supportive environment where players are challenged to grow on and off the field. Our commitment to high standards, passionate coaching, and a strong sense of community is what sets our program apart.
PLAYER FOCUSED, FAMILY MINDED
At TRUE Calgary, we believe every player deserves individualized attention, development, and support tailored to their unique journey. Our player-focused approach means we invest in long-term growth, not just short-term success, helping athletes build confidence, resilience, and leadership. We foster a family-minded culture where parents, coaches, and teammates come together to support each other, creating a strong sense of belonging. This tight-knit environment allows players to thrive, knowing they are valued both as athletes and as people.
FOSTERING PERSONAL GROWTH THROUGH TEAM SPORT
Team sports are about much more than just the game—they’re about building life skills that extend far beyond the field. Lacrosse teaches the importance of collaboration, communication, and trust, as success is never achieved alone. Through teamwork, players learn to support each other, share the spotlight, and work together toward a common goal. The bonds formed on the field help develop leadership, responsibility, and a sense of belonging, creating a community where everyone plays an important role. Ultimately, we believe that team sports teach athletes the power of unity, resilience, and collective effort, laying a foundation for success in both sport and life.
COMPETITION AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE
We believe that competition is a powerful catalyst for growth and character development. We embrace competition not just as a way to measure success, but as an opportunity to push ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and rise to new challenges. Our focus is on fostering a healthy, respectful competitive spirit—one that values effort, resilience, and sportsmanship above all. We teach our athletes that true competition is about striving to be the best version of themselves, working as a team, and respecting both the game and the opposition.
