It’s about opportunity. Introducing youth to the game of soccer opens a door. Maybe they gain confidence, maybe they make friends and feel more connected to their neighbours or maybe they unlock a passion that’ll carry them to professional pitches one day.

ABOUT US
Run by MLSE Foundation and supported by BMO, KickStart is a 12-week program offered in two 6-week cohorts within Toronto Community Housing communities. Through the KickStart program, MLSE Foundation and Toronto Community Housing communities have worked towards providing children access to opportunities where they can thrive, build vibrant communities, and have a positive soccer experience.

WHY NOW?
KickStart focuses on introducing children ages 6 to 14 to the game of soccer and concentrates on physical literacy as well as fundamental skill development. In previous years, through our partnership with TCHC, we were able to provide KickStart opportunities to 360 youth. This year, we’ve expanded our partnerships to include three additional community organizations — Girls Forward, the Eritrean Canadian Community Centre, and Scadding Court Community Centre. With this growth, we’re now reaching 550 youth and offering girls-only programming in addition to our co-ed sessions.
