WE ARE EMPOWER.

Empower Futbol is a leader in youth soccer development for girls and young women in Ontario. For nearly a decade, we have been dedicated to delivering high-quality technical training within a positive, structured, and supportive environment designed specifically for female athletes.

​

Founded in 2016, Empower was built with a clear purpose: to create programming that meets girls at their age and stage of development while preparing them for higher levels of play — whether that means competing provincially, nationally, at the university level, or pursuing the professional game. Our training model is intentional and progressive, focused on long-term athlete development rather than short-term results.

​

What sets Empower apart is that our approach is grounded in research. Our coaching philosophy and program design are informed by years of study and evidence on girls in sport — how they learn, how they develop confidence, how they respond to coaching, and how to create environments where they thrive. Our sessions are not generic. They are built specifically for girls.

​

Our coaching staff reflects the standard we hold. Empower is led by experienced female coaches who have competed — and in many cases continue to compete — at some of the highest levels of the game, including NCAA, U SPORTS, professional, provincial, and national environments. Our athletes are mentored by women who understand the pathway because they have lived it.

All training takes place in our beautifully crafted 5,000 square foot indoor athletic facility in Burlington — a space intentionally designed to support focused technical development, strength and conditioning, and high-performance training year-round.

​

At Empower, we are not simply running sessions. We are building confident, capable athletes and creating clear pathways for girls who are serious about their development.
