This fall, we secured a free gym space through the Toronto Catholic District School Board to start an indoor soccer outreach. This program serves a totally different demographic than much of my existing ministry. Unlike many of their peers, these sixty young people have no interest in basketball, and are mostly from South American, Asian, African and European backgrounds. I have been so impressed by their gratitude at this opportunity to be coached and to play soccer together. I am thankful for Alex, who played soccer at a high level in Ghana in his younger days, and Pastor Chinatu who are the key volunteers for this program.

A soccer program sounds great!
Where are you holding it? Are you looking for more volunteers?
Since soccer is a sport played more globally than basketball, you’re bound to get participants from largely varied backgrounds.
This sounds like a really great program.
I’d like to be kept up to date.
God bless!
Hello intothesoccerthing!
We would absolutely love more volunteers. The program is held in the Jane-Finch community – on outdoor fields during the summer months and in a local school gym throughout the school year. Stay posted on the website for occasional updates.

I would like to see if my boys would qualify for the program. Could someone contact me via email or post more information?
Thank you.
