“A Winning Team” was filmed in Vancouver, Canada, based on posts from the cast and others. The movie is a Timeless Picture production, which is a company based in Vancouver. The director of the movie, Jason Furukawa, is also located in Vancouver.
In an interview with Survived the Shows, Jovanna Burke shared that they filmed in Vancouver when it was snowing, even though the movie is supposed to take place in the spring.
“It was winter in Vancouver and there were epic snowstorms while we shot this, and of course we shot a lot of it outside, so it was interesting for the crew who was trying to portray ‘spring’ weather for our exterior scenes,” she recalled. “When we were shooting the party scene at Sheila’s house, the outdoor fountain was completely frozen, and the crew had to heat it up so that we looked like we were enjoying a warm spring day.”
She said they spent a lot of time in warming tents, since the children had to play soccer in shorts even though it was so cold outside.
The movie’s writer, Ronee Uyeshiro, shared this photo during filming.
