Our Story

After seeing early specialization, hyper-competitiveness, and toxic sports environments become the norm in Toronto, TOP Sports was founded to create a more balanced youth sports model by focusing on player experience, long-term development, and a seasonal, set schedule that encourages multi-sport play. We believe that multi-sport play, over time, is essential to creating a well-rounded and successful athlete, and as kids mature and grow, we believe the most versatile athletes become the best players in each sport.

What started as a passion project in 2017 has now grown into the largest multi-sport organization in Ontario with thousands of full-time participants annually across three locations in Midtown Toronto, Oakville, and Richmond Hill.

From day one, our vision has been to become the gold standard for youth sports organizations by offering high-quality, values-based programming that provides a more balanced youth sports experience.

So, What Makes Us Different?

Across our three main sports, hockey, soccer, and lacrosse, we offer a unique player pathway that provides children the opportunity to play three sports at the competitive or recreational level with no conflicts. Starting as young as four-years-old, children can join our Introductory Programs and kickstart their athletic journey by developing core skills and passion for sport. Once players turn six they can pick whether they want to join a Competitive Team or a Recreational Program and continue their development at the next level.

Our Competitive Teams, referred to as “Academy” Teams, are geared towards a more advanced player looking for a full season commitment with practices, games, tournaments and more. Academy teams require more commitment than recreational programs, and often have longer seasons and more sessions per week.

Recreational programs are perfect for the intermediate player who is looking for a more casual environment to learn skills, play games, and have a ton of fun. Recreational programs do not have a commitment requirement, and generally have shorter seasons with fewer sessions per week than Academy Teams.

One of the unique features of the Multi-Sport Model is that regardless of which sport or stream you are playing, there are no scheduling conflicts between sports. This means that children are able to play up to three sports in the same season, with no conflicts.
