Why an emphasis on women? Can men join?Yes, WRCRA welcomes men who coach girls and women. However the WRCRA is committed to increasing the number of women in coaching, refereeing and leadership. The combination of discriminatory practices and women's position in society as a whole means women have been historically disadvantaged in sport. Our individual efforts have not and will not result in sustainable changes for girls or women, if we want to change the status quo we need to support programs that are specifically focused on women's experiences.
