TOP Soccer Club
Club Overview
TOP Soccer delivers a refreshing, development-first soccer experience for ages 4 and up in Oakville. Families choose TOP because we pair professional coaching with a seasonal, set schedule and a flexible summer commitment — so your child can still play competitive soccer without overcommitting at a young age. Our player pathway runs from Recreational Programs (U4-U12) and Pre-Academy (U7) to Academy Teams (U8-U12) and Competitive Teams (U13+), all aligned to Ontario/Canada Soccer LTPD principles and designed to fit with our Multi-Sport Model with minimal overlap with TOP Hockey and TOP Lacrosse programs.
Why Families Choose TOP
A More Balanced Soccer Experience
Our programs are built to provide high-quality coaching, real skill development through game-based learning, and a consistent weekly schedule that allows kids to play other sports and have more time in the summers. All TOP Soccer programs feature qualified professional non-parent coaches supported by full-time Technical Staff, and a Full-Time administrative team to help with any issues. Our programs are hosted at convenient fields in south Oakville, prioritizing more time on the field and less time in the car.
