Our Story
Our Story
In recent years, the youth sports landscape has been increasingly defined by early sport specialization, hyper-competitiveness, and toxic environments. Recognizing the need for change, TOP Sports was founded to promote a more balanced approach — one that prioritizes a positive experience, long-term development, and a structured, seasonal schedule designed to encourage multi-sport participation. Over time, multi-sport athletes achieve greater long-term success, have been shown to have significantly lower rates of overuse injuries and psychological burnout, and enjoy a more positive and fulfilling sports experience.
What began in 2017 as a small passion project has since evolved into Ontario’s largest multi-sport organization, engaging thousands of participants annually across three locations in Midtown Toronto, Oakville, and Richmond Hill.
From the outset, our mission has been clear: to set a new standard in youth sports by delivering high-quality, values-driven programming that fosters a more balanced and positive sports environment for young athletes.
What Sets us Apart?
At TOP Sports, we focus on three core sports — hockey, soccer, and lacrosse — offering a comprehensive player pathway that offers competitive and recreational programs with minimal scheduling conflicts between sports. Starting as early as age four, children can join our Introductory Programs to build foundational skills and develop a love for sport. As they grow, they have the flexibility to pursue either a Competitive Team or a Recreational Program, tailoring their athletic journey to their interests and goals.
