Last night, we celebrated our final Built to Play West Scarborough session with some special friends in attendance! ⚽️

A big thank you to AFC Toronto (Northern Super League Team) players April and Nyota, as well as AFC Toronto staff members for joining us and helping lead the session.

We’re so thankful for the way AFC Toronto continues to show up and lead by example in their community, giving girls the opportunity to be on the pitch alongside women in their own city who they can look up to and be inspired by. ❤️
