Club Manager & Founder
“As a former professional player who represented China at the 1998 World Cup, I founded Red Maple in the Greater Toronto Area with a simple vision: to build a community-focused club where young athletes grow through dedication and excellence. We believe that consistent action leads to extraordinary results — whether through our programs or community initiatives, we are committed to fostering an environment where talent meets opportunity. Action speaks louder than words, and every day our coaches and players prove it on the pitch.”
Red Maple was established with a vision to build a community-focused youth soccer program. From our founding to today, milestones have shaped who we are. Our mission: to develop youth athletes, guided by coaches passionate about the game and committed to excellence.
