Canletes Sports is a Canadian platform for women's basketball and athletic development, founded in 2012 by Lee Anna Osei, a former athlete and a trailblazer in Canadian female basketball. The organisation was established to address a lack of opportunities for females in sport and operates across Ontario and Canada, with an emphasis on female sport participation and engagement at all levels.
The company's work spans several areas: strength and fitness training for women's basketball athletes; showcase events, camps and tournaments that give female athletes exposure and recruitment opportunities; apparel for women's basketball players; recruitment consulting to help athletes navigate routes to collegiate and professional basketball; and mentorship for preteen females interested in sport. Its website is described as Canada's first girl's website dedicated to promoting and celebrating female sport participation.
Athletes who have come through the programme have progressed to compete at NCAA, U SPORTS and CCAA levels, with some advancing to professional basketball. The organisation describes itself as Canada's premier platform for women's basketball and athletic development, and reports a growing women's basketball community in Ontario and across the country.
