United Scarborough Initiative
BEYOND THE
GAME
Northball Athletics is more than a sports program. Through our non-profit arm, we're building a community that empowers Scarborough youth and families from the inside out.
Our Mission
EMPOWERING
SCARBOROUGH
Part of the mission behind Northball Athletics and the United Scarborough Initiative — our non-for-profit entity — is to empower Scarborough by empowering its youth and families.
We believe sport is a powerful vehicle. But the real work happens in what surrounds it. That's why every Northball membership comes with access to a growing suite of empowerment programs designed to address the whole person — financially, mentally, and as a member of this community.
From certified financial literacy sessions for kids, to skill-based seminars for parents, to character-building conversations after every practice — this is what makes Northball different.
Financial Empowerment
Teaching kids and families the language of money before life demands it of them.
Community First
Everything we do is rooted in Scarborough — building up the families, block by block.
Character Development
We develop the whole person, not just the athlete. Mindset, values, and identity matter here.
Accessible to All
Empowerment programs are included with Northball membership — no extra cost, no gatekeeping.
When a child joins Northball, the whole family joins something bigger.
Included With Membership
OUR EMPOWERMENT
PROGRAMS
Four distinct programs, all included as part of the Northball experience — at no extra cost.
Future Founders
Financial Literacy Program
Every month, students ages 11–16 sit with certified financial coaches who are passionate about equipping the next generation with real money skills. Future Founders covers the principles of financial success — budgeting, saving, investing, and building a strong financial foundation before adulthood.
Taught by certified financial coaches
Coaches' Corner
Character & Mindset Development
At the end of every Northball session, coaches lead a focused conversation around a monthly character theme — things like hard work, teamwork, kindness, and resilience. These aren't lectures. They're real conversations that help young kids build healthy mindsets that carry beyond the gym.
Monthly themes woven into every program
Northball App
Resources at Your Fingertips
The Northball App gives parents and families access to a growing library of resources to reinforce the principles their kids are learning at practice — at home. Whether it's character content, financial tips, or program updates, the app keeps the whole family connected to the Northball community.
A growing resource library for every family
Level Up Seminars
Skill-Based Parent Empowerment
Northball believes in empowering the whole family. Our Level Up Seminar series brings in knowledge experts and professionals from across our community to teach on topics like investment, financial management, professional development, and more.
