Hello! Thank you for supporting our local community! This year has been challenging for many. Your gift to the association will go directly to youth sports and recreation teams that have been underfunded due to the unexpected closures of COVID-19 in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Hundreds of families depend on these programs for their children.
- Please help us reach our goal of $25,000.00 to keep our youth playing. Thank you for your support
The Media Arts Program
The purpose of this program is to provide disadvantaged teens with a hands on environment covering a number of departments involved in making a short film and exposing them to basic components of film making and video editing. Our goal is to foster the youth’s creative needs and provide them with the skill and knowledge to continue to express themselves after the project. The project will cover the basis of using cameras, proper lighting, sound and digital editing. The duration of the project will be 6 weeks with the end result of a community film screening of the students work at the Lawrence Heights community center as way of giving back to the whole community.

The idea is to help YOUTH with their self-esteem,” said Dane Smith, Pro Basketball player and social entrepreneur whom founded The-Association.ca “With the holidays right around the corner, the idea is that if you look good, you’ll feel better about yourself, and you’ll do better in school.”

The Basketball Program
The program is in Toronto is designed to be intense and challenge participants to develop in all aspects of the sport of basketball as well as to develop each individual’s personal capacity to be a positive member of society. Basketball is only one aspect of a player’s life and all our players are encouraged to put in an equal effort in all areas to achieve ultimate success now and in the future. We are heavily involved in our player's lives and want them to succeed in whatever path they choose.
Goals
The goal is to maximize athlete potential and give them the best opportunity to advance their athletic career. This is achieved through 42 hours of on-court fundamental skills training by the experienced university and pro-level twin brothers. Dwayne and Dane will lead the Basketball Academy.
Solution
The program is a course intended to develop the all-round player. Early focus is on developing individual skill and building the aerobic running base. Both of these skills are essential when developing the more complex skills of team play and power or strength training. Finally, it is imperative that all students have a good understanding of the rules of play and the appropriate strategies to incorporate in play.
The Fitness Program
Fitness Class, also commonly known as a “conditioning” class, focuses on movements that improve overall performance: from speed to endurance, agility and balance, these classes offer a comprehensive suite of exercises designed to compliment other workout routines and lifestyles. This is a great option for anyone looking for a well-rounded class that provides a decent challenge, and is also ideal for athletes, trainers or people who have a foundation of fitness they want to be able to build on to provide the best version of themselves in their practices.
