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.
