Basketball Operations Internship - Canletes

Canletes Sports was created in 2012 by Canadian female basketball trailblazer Lee Anna Osei. At the time, Lee Anna had returned home from playing collegiate basketball abroad. As a former prospective athlete she quickly made note of the lack of opportunities for females in sport, particularly in skill development opportunities, showcase events, and recruitment consulting. With the encouragement of her friends and family, she officially launched Canada’s first girl’s website dedicated to promoting and celebrating female sport participation and engagement.

With an aim of expanding female sport participation and engagement across all sports, the organization continues to celebrate women from all sport backgrounds and levels, including organizing mentorship opportunities for preteen females interested in sport.The community of women’s basketball is rapidly growing in Ontario and throughout Canada, with girls going on to play at the collegiate level such as NCAA, U SPORTS and CCAA. This superb growth has allowed some of these young women to even play at the professional level. Expanding our mission to reach players across the country is our goal, to afford female athletes in the East/West Coast the same as their counterparts in Ontario.
