A.R. Lord Girls have been participating in Equal Play Girls Soccer Leadership Program, a non-profit organization that encourages girls at the elementary school level to play soccer. Over several weeks, the Grade 4-7 girls learn soccer in a fun setting that helps them build confidence, be physically active, develop positive images of their body, strength and ability and the love of sport. The organization is lead by Carrie Serwetnyk, a former national soccer player and the first woman to enter Canada's Soccer Hall of Fame.<br />
