What is the after school program?

We are proud to offer different kinds of educational and recreational programming for students in grades 1-12, in various neighbourhoods throughout London and surrounding areas to our club members. From homework support to pick-up ball games, each after school program (A.S.P.) is developed to ensure your child is set up for success.

The focus of these program is on three core areas: 

  • Physical Activity – Get children moving through participation in structured activities inside and outside like active group games, or unstructured play time. Also other activities include crafts and special themes. 

  • Health and Wellness - Build self-esteem, resiliency, confidence and self-reliance among participants and raise awareness about being supportive of one another and enhance friendships. 

  • Healthy Eating - Teach participants about nutrition and selecting better choices. Children receive after-school snacks and learn about nutrition.
