From Vancouver to the pros
Rashaun Simonise · Founder & Head Coach
Rashaun’s journey took him from Vancouver to the University of Calgary, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Canadian Football League. WRU brings the attention to detail and standards learned along that journey to young athletes.
His coaching connects the fundamentals—movement, catching, routes and decision-making—with preparation, communication and confidence. The aim is steady progress that players can recognize and build on.
MORE THAN FOOTBALL
A better route or stronger catch is only part of the goal. WRU athletes learn to prepare, respond to coaching, support teammates and handle challenges—habits they can carry into sport and life.
Winter flag brings that approach to NFL FLAG Canada. Purposeful instruction, encouragement and meaningful play create room for every athlete to improve while enjoying the game.
