STAC Soccer Academy: Promoting inclusion and educational success

Soccer Academy

During the spring and summer months (April to September), the program focuses on sport participation, with mentorship integration from college and university coaches and players. Youth take part in weekly mentorship circles during soccer sessions 2x a week, to help boost their love for the sport, build healthy relationships, friendship and are proud to be part of something that supports their mental and physical health.

 The program also provides exposure to post-secondary opportunities for high school students, while fostering leadership development and engaging parents as key partners in their child’s educational journey. 

In the fall and winter (October to March), we move soccer indoors with fun and engaging ways to train and develop with our Mentorship Through Play program.  Creating unique athletic sessions that involves enjoying the sport with active play while learning the important life skills with Futsal.

 For high school students, the program shifts to targeted post-secondary application support. Youth participate in workshops focused on college and university applications, receive guidance on personal statements, and are supported through OSAP and financial aid processes. The program also includes scholarship navigation and parent information sessions to ensure families are informed and supported throughout the application process. 


This program fills that need by combining sport with structured academic and mentorship support, creating an accessible and engaging entry point for youth who may not participate in traditional pathways. We use sports as a steering wheel for life long success to provide what they need to continue their journey better each day.
