A better model for youth sports
From a small pilot program in 2017 to Ontario’s largest multi-sport organization, our mission has always been the same: do what’s right for kids and families.
We believe youth sports should build kids up—not burn them out.
In recent years, the youth sports landscape has been defined by early specialization, hyper-competitiveness, and toxic environments. Recognizing the need for change, TOP Sports was founded to create a more balanced approach—one that prioritizes a positive experience, long-term development, and seasonal schedules designed to encourage multi-sport participation. Research shows that multi-sport athletes achieve greater long-term success, experience fewer overuse injuries, avoid burnout, and ultimately enjoy a more positive sports experience.
What began as a passion project has since grown into Ontario’s largest multi-sport organization, with thousands of participants across four locations: Midtown Toronto, Oakville, Whitby, and York Region. From the beginning, our mission has been clear: set a new standard in youth sports through high-quality, values-driven programming that creates a healthier, more balanced environment for young athletes.

- Quality Coaches Who Care: Our professional coaches take pride in building relationships with players and pushing them to reach their full potential, in sport and beyond.
