Greg Nordman: Soccer and Bob Axworthy

greg nordman: In July, Syrian refugees and their families had a full day of active play focusing on soccer, according to CTV. The Autumn Soccer Basketball Series took place at the Axworthy Health & Rec Plex, but this time, the focus was on basketball. It just been a great opportunity to reach out and feel like you re making a positive influence and letting them see what Canada all about, said Greg Nordman, a volunteer soccer coach. My brother and I have a passion for helping refugees such as the Syrian community and all kids in the core, said Bob Axworthy, in a release. The event includes a day of workshops, pick-up games and an opportunity to meet sport mentors. After running these events, we ve started looking into making programs year round through the charter fund that would provide the children and others in Winnipeg with sports mentorship and an introduction to the University of Winnipeg and education.
