Victoria Baker

Foundation Phase Lead

Victoria was born in South Africa and started playing soccer when she moved to Canada at the age of 9. She played at a high level both in Canada and England. Driven by her deep passion and love for the game, she became a youth coach, eager to share her knowledge and cultivate the same enthusiasm for soccer in young players.

Her coaching journey started at McKenzie United Soccer Club 9 years ago, where she coached within the Academy and Grassroots Programs. Serving as a Technical Lead Coach, she had the privilege of guiding multiple girls' teams spanning the U9 to U14 age groups, fostering both skill development and team cohesion.

Victoria served as an Assistant Coach in the Alberta Soccer Provincial girls program, supporting the 2004 and 2006 girls teams. Her contributions played a pivotal role in their development and success within a competitive environment.

Continuing her professional path, she joined Chinooks Soccer Club as the Grassroots Director. In this role, she designed and executed the grassroots program, while also acting as the Technical Lead Coach within the Skills Center, and Academy Programs. Alongside these responsibilities, she took on the role of head coach for the U10 and U11 girls teams, contributing significantly to player development during crucial stages of their soccer journey.

Victoria is excited to apply her comprehensive coaching experience and game knowledge to help nurture the development and success of emerging soccer talent at New Frontier.
