Since our inception in July 2014, Connect Sports has steadily grown from one adult soccer league into offering seven co-ed adult leagues in London & Komoka with close to 500 members currently playing. Listening to members has been key for growth, and word of mouth has been essential. Differentiating our leagues from the pack by offering referees in certain sports, fantastic locations and unique charity donations has been really important. Providing awesome leagues at affordable prices is a great mix, and judging by the early success, we expect continued future growth!

New leagues exciting members
Offering fantastic sport leagues for adults is what we specialize in, and this is evident in our first full summer soccer league. We set up a summer co-ed rec league at Western on turf fields and our goal was six teams. We quickly surpassed that, and within two weeks had 12 teams ready to play! The response was so tremendous that we set up another league and members are loving it!
When asking one member, Daniel Szynkaruk of Kilworth FC, what he liked best, he responded: “The turf fields are unreal, it’s a fun rec league and is very well organized. I’m looking forward to joining more leagues in the future.”
Establishing relationships with members and making their experience memorable is our goal.

Corporate Challenge London
Connect Sports is excited to sponsor and run one of 10 events at this year’s Corporate Challenge London, which is an annual fundraiser for the Sunshine Foundation where companies submit teams to compete and build team morale in a fun, competition format. We love helping out with charity tournaments. If you ever need exposure or help with an event, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Connect Sports Kids!
We are happy to announce that we are in the final stages of setting up a social enterprise called Connect Sports Kids. The organization will offer free after school sports programs in East London, as well as run free half-day summer camps for kids aged 7-13. A portion of every Connect Sports member’s registration fee will be allocated to run these programs.
Allowing kids from low-income households to have the opportunity to take part in structured sports is our mission, and we are looking forward to this opportunity. If you want information on how to become a Connect Sports Kids volunteer, send us a message!
