North Toronto Sports Foundation subsidizes the player fees of refugees and other low-income recent immigrants in North Toronto Soccer Club programs.
Children from all parts of the world have played soccer, fit seamlessly into soccer programs, are appreciated by their teammates, and immediately feel connected to their new community.
New immigrant children ages 4 to 18 are welcomed as soon as possible arriving in Toronto. They are not required to have a permanent address, or to be located in the North Toronto area.
Immigrant families are often referred by sponsors, refugee placement and assistance agencies, schools, ESL teachers, and personal contacts within their diaspora communities.
Children from immigrant families are integrated into existing programs based on age and gender.
Teen players from immigrant families are encouraged to train to become coaches and referees; course costs are covered and there is ongoing mentorship.
The fee subsidy ranges up to 85% based on financial status, and as high as 100% for refugees.
