        “We are a very athletic family,” Victoria explains. “I believe that sports give you important skills you    6 Second Street East,
        need in life. Patience, teamwork, humility, respect, and drive are just a few valuable virtues that sports           Cornwall
        can give you. In addition to these great values, you also gain an entire community of people who share
