Programs for Ajax Athletes
Worth Every Kilometre
Ajax families make the trip because the level of training, coaching, and community at Northball doesn't exist closer to home. Here's what's waiting for your athlete.
Private coaching & competitive development
Basketball
Our basketball programs give Ajax athletes access to the same elite coaching environment that's produced competitive players across the GTA. With structured skills clinics, tactical drills, and a competitive team culture, we build players who are ready for the next level.
Technical skills & match preparation
Soccer
Our year-round soccer program is designed for Ajax players who've outgrown recreational leagues and want to train with serious intent. Technical drills, soccer agility work, and tactical development — Sundays at 11:00 AM, then Sundays and Fridays at 6:00 PM for the winter schedule starting November 8.
Youth martial arts & fitness
Kickboxing
Planning is in progress for our kickboxing program for Ajax teens looking for something that challenges them physically and mentally. No prior experience needed — just a willingness to show up, work hard, and grow. Join our waitlist for updates.
Why Ajax Families Make the Drive
The Standard Is Different Here
When you can't find the level of coaching and community your child deserves locally, you find Northball.
Proven Results
Our athletes consistently develop into standout performers — in sport and in the classroom. We track progress, celebrate growth, and challenge every athlete to reach higher.
A Family Atmosphere
Ajax families who make the trip tell us the same thing: they didn't expect to feel so at home. Our community is warm, welcoming, and deeply invested in every child's journey.
Mentorship at Every Level
Through the United Scarborough Initiative, every Northball program incorporates life skills, leadership, and character development — not just athletic training.
Flexible, Month-to-Month
No long-term contracts. Our programs run month-to-month starting at $40/month, so your family can commit on your terms and scale up as your athlete grows.
