Description

Jeremy Cross's lifelong passion for sport has taken him from a standout athlete in Niagara Falls to a nationally recognized leader in the Canadian amateur sport system. A graduate of A.N. Myer Secondary School, Jeremy excelled in multiple sports, earning Male Athlete of the Year honours several times and setting the foundation for a career devoted to athletics, leadership, and mentorship.
Since 2018, he has served as Executive Director of the Coaches Association of Ontario, advancing coach education and development province wide. Previously, as Team Manager for Canada's Basketball Senior Men's National Team, he contributed to the program's success and professionalism on the international stage.
At the grassroots level, Jeremy has made an equally profound impact.

His coaching emphasizes not only athletic performance but also mentorship, empowerment, and personal growth - positively influencing hundreds of young athletes.
Jeremy's career exemplifies both excellence and service, bridging the gap between elite and community sport. Through his leadership, integrity, and commitment to developing others, he has strengthened the foundation of coaching in Ontario and left a lasting legacy on Canadian sport.
