Lambton Community School
Soccer in Schools Expansion
With the generous support of Canada Soccer’s Soccer in Schools grant, Toronto High Park FC expanded the reach of its Soccer in Schools program across two consecutive years.
In November and December 2024, the program was introduced at James Culnan Catholic School and Dennis Avenue Community School, providing more young players with the opportunity to experience soccer in a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment.
Building on the success of the 2024 expansion, the program grew again in 2025 to include Lambton Park Community School, Roselands Public School, and Kingsview Village Junior Public School.
THPFC would like to thank Canada Soccer for its continued support, as well as the Club’s dedicated coaches for delivering the program and helping to create positive soccer experiences for students across the community.
