Soldiers
Athletes who completed our SNYB program and/or are at the competitive level, can join our Rep teams to compete against other Rep teams in the region. We have 3 representing teams: Boys U10/U11 DAREtoLOVE Soldiers Boys U13/U14 DAREtoLOVE Soldiers Girls U13 DAREtoLOVE Soldiers We believe that the athletes that make up our Rep teams are ambassadors of DAREtoLOVE and therefore are committed to reflecting the DARE virtues and the values of LOVE. It is by these virtues and values that we play with cause, honour and respect.
