Meet Coach Kayla

From BSG Athlete to Professional Defender

Kayla began training with the Basic Speed Group at the age of 12. She is credited with setting the bar with her work ethic for all BSG Athletes after her. Determined to climb the ladder of Canadian soccer, she has shone as one of Canada's top defenders.

For the past 9 years she has been a tremendous asset as a Jr Coach and then rising to Sr Coach with Basic Speed Group, assisting Coach Mike and Coach Milton with the ultra-successful Woodbridge teams. One that undefeatedly won nationals and another toppling North America's top teams.

Following her graduation and completing her NCAA play at Simon Fraser University, Kayla has spent the last 5 years playing professional soccer around the globe, including a Championship year with the NSL's Vancouver Rise here at home - before heading back to Europe to further her pro career. While home from her contract, she's bringing that experience straight to your athlete.
