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.
By 2030, our goal is to get 10,000+ kids playing — to grow participation, to create well-round multi-sport athletes, and to redefine what youth sports should look like.
