TOP SOCCER JOINS TORONTO SOCCER ASSOCIATION!
We are incredibly excited to announce that TOP Soccer has officially received sanctioning to join the Toronto Soccer Association (TSA), the governing body for grassroots and competitive soccer in Toronto.
Moving forward, TOP Soccer teams are now permitted to play sanctioned games, festivals, and tournaments in Toronto and beyond, as well as compete against local clubs under the TSA umbrella. Additionally, TSA sanctioning provides TOP Soccer with a formal player pathway from Learn-to-Play to Academy and beyond, perfect for the multi-sport athlete in your family.
On behalf of TOP Soccer Technical Director Tom Waud and our entire team, we'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to TSA President Rob Gillies and the rest of the Board of Directors for their support and guidance through the sanctioning process. TOP Soccer is ready and excited to take a big next step, and we can't wait to get on the field with you in April!
Yours in sport,
- The TOP Team
