The ETSL Difference
TRAINING
& GAMEPLAY
Gameplay is the most fun that a child can have, but we also
believe it's important for them to improve their soccer skills and physical literacy. This is why all of our programs include weekly training as standard. Simply kicking and running after the ball is no fun as you get older!
PROFESSIONAL
COACHES
We love volunteer assistants, and they are integral part of our team, but we also have licensed coaches and former players leading the training sessions to ensure that players are developing their skillset and applying what they learn onto the soccer field. Parents and siblings want to help?
AFFORDABLE
FEES
We love Rec Soccer! And this is all we do. Because we specialize at grassroots level, the players can play the game they love in a fun yet competitive environment, and at develop at their own rate. As a non-profit organization, our mission is to keep children
healthy, active and safe.
DIFFERENT
WEEKLY TEAMS
We want to develop players into the best they can be which is why every week, we mix up teams to ensure players benefit from playing with new teammates, under different coaches, in different positions. Of course friends & family can always remain on the same team!
WELCOME TO
EAST TORONTO SOCCER
Our Recreational Soccer Program, is a community-based, grassroots soccer program open to all players of any skill level and ability. It is strategically designed to offer fun and excitement to children in a team format, while supporting a healthy and active lifestyle for all players.
Unlike other clubs and organizations where your child merely plays soccer on a weekly basis, we believe it's just as important, if not more so, to train too, which is why every week we provide 45 mins of technical training from our licensed coaches, as well as high intensive gameplay.
Players are assigned to groups not just based on age, but experience too. If you wish to be in the same team as a friend, let us know, and we will try to accommodate you.
Our program is aligned with Long Term Player Development (LTPD) guidelines put forth by the Ontario Soccer Association, ensuring players
get enough touches on the ball and are able to truly enjoy the beautiful game!
We will always emphasise the safety and well-being of our players, staff, and supporters first. With covid restrictions frequently changing, we reserve the right to move or cancel sessions accordingly. In such cases, a full refund will be given. We have strenuous covid restrictions and a thorough Return to Play policy.
SOCCER EDUCATION
In addition to weekly gameplay, your child will take part in weekly training sessions where they will learn age-appropriate soccer skills, get some great exercise, and be encouraged to maintain a healthy active lifestyle through their involvement in soccer.
As part of Ontario Soccer's Long Term Player Development program, players will learn correct technique for:
• First Touch • Ball Mastery • Fakes and Feints
• Dribbling • Receiving • Turning • Passing
• Crossing • Shooting • Finishing • Fair Play
• Volleying • Tackling • Defending • Shielding
At East Toronto Soccer, we do our best to facilitate a social environment in which we promote friendship, having fun, and being an active part of a team.

Our Fall Program was designed primarily for our current players. After 10 weeks of Summer training, we're looking forward to seeing the progress that has been made. The sessions are smaller with greater emphasis on technical training, thus ensuring there is more individual attention to your child.
If your child just completed summer program, ask for our 10% off code.
If you are new to the program, and would like to attend, you may still register, and subject to availability, your child will be enrolled in the program.
