Korean Canadian Athletic Association (KCAA)
Korean Canadian Athletic Association (KCAA)
The strong foundation of the Korean Canadian Athletics Association (KCAA) started off with just a small group of friends writing down some ideas on a paper napkin one day – fast forward to 2017 now proudly in its 10th year, the grassroots non-profit organization continues to grow, evolve, and play a big part in Canada’s Korean Canadian community especially in its hometown of Toronto, Ontario.
Like many organizations and groups, the KCAA was born to fulfill a need in the community for its people. At the time there was a glaring absence of athletics programs and events aimed towards the Korean Canadian youth and young adults. The idea of having a mentorship program involving the older elite team players holding skills clinics and tournaments for up and coming younger players was made a priority and was well received among first and second generation of Koreans in the community, the pioneer immigrants in Canada.
