I had so much fun at the soccer program in the summer. We learned how to pass and catch the ball to each other while running at the same time, and Coach Dennis showed us how to move quick on our feet.

T.A.B.

Helping young people discover their purpose and achieve success in life.

Welcome to the Teach and Ball community. We are a community giving back to our communities. We are not here for the likes, the views, or monetary gains, we’re here because we need to be, and because we need each other.

LET'S GROW TOGETHER

Academics, Sports, & Mentorship

It is our duty to ensure that we raise young people in the right way and prepare them for the challenges that may come later in life. TAB will strengthen our communities on purpose using various sports, academics, and mentorship programs. Comprised of a team of invested, experienced, and qualified individuals, they are bonded with one common purpose:

To inspire future  generations of children and youth to rise above the negativity presented by their environment and become the positive changemakers in Canada.

ATHLETICS

MENTORSHIP

Athleticism teaches teamwork, collaboration, & discipline.

Our athletic programs are designed for students of all fitness levels. We want the rookies and we want the players! Fitness is key to keeping stress levels down, it’s also good for heart health, and mental alertness. Our students will learn the basics and the fundamentals all while having fun doing so! Our coaches are professionals who love what they do, and love engaging kids to do the same.
What kind of world would this be if we were all the same?

Everyone matters. We celebrate diversity at TAB. It’s truly remarkable when we can embrace one another despite our differences. Regardless of an individuals background, race, or gender, we are all ONE. It’s all or none.

Life is not just about surviving, it’s also about thriving.

Ask Donna Marie is our Wellness Coach who strives to create a safe space for individuals and families. Coaching sessions are available to give our members the information needed to improve their overall sense of well being. When you take care of yourself, you can take better care of your family and show up everyday smiling and thriving despite the hurdles that life will surely bring.
Knowledge is the gateway to living your best life.

Education is key. It is the core of Teach & Ball and is the mother of all our programs. Our tutoring program will help students build the confidence they need to thrive as they further their education. We intend on removing all barriers when it comes to education because we want to see our kids dream big, and set attainable goals.
How we handle stress and relate to others is vital for everyones sake.

Everyone is different, and everyone handles stress different. Some things motivate others, while those same things can actually make someone feel stuck. TAB is sensitive to both sides and our mentorship program and our team is prepared to bridge those gaps to help those in need, and to ensure that everyone feels connected in some way shape, or form!
An interactive approach to encourage & lead our youth to greatness.

Our youth need someone to look up to, someone to relate to, and someone who they can talk to. All of our TAB leaders are mentors in some way, coming from all walks of life. Our mentorship program is an exciting aspect because it ties everything together mental health , athletics, and the real world!
WE ARE CHANGING THE NARRATIVE

Preparing our youths for tomorrow!

Teach and Ball also referred to as  “TAB” is a Toronto based non-profit organization. Our focus is guiding children, adolescents, and clients through Athletics, Diversity & Inclusion, Education, Mental Health, and Mentorship programs in order to help them discover their purpose and achieve success in life.

Using sports, education, guidance, and mentorship we empower future generations by bridging the gap between communities, while investing in and contributing to the development of our youth and members of the society at large. 

We want to help our young people navigate life and it’s challenges. It’s not always easy for them to figure out what their purpose is and the steps they should take to attain it. At times they struggle to make the right decisions, which is magnified for those with limited access to resources.

These barriers are made even more challenging for the families immigrating from other countries. Adapting to new cultural norms for some is not an easy transition. They will inevitably face many road blocks which affects the whole family and generations to follow. The good thing is, we’re keeping TABS! It is our mission to eliminate as many barriers, and road blocks we possibly can.

To nurture, motivate, and inspire the next generation of young people to be the best versions of themselves without crumbling under the weight of expectations or challenges they face in their communities.

When one wins we all win. If you believe in consistent and steady growth for our youth and the generations that come after them then join the movement, and become a member of our family! More Info
