            AT A GLANCE

            Ajax Ontario, first and foremost, boasts one of the most
            diverse populations in all of Canada. Within this communi-
            ty, the opportunity to create connection vs division and to
            lift up others through sport and recreation is at the main-
            stay of our mission, values, and vision within the Ajax
            Soccer Club.

            Ajax has made a clear and conscious effort toward this
            mission by making diversity and inclusion the most essen-
            tial feature upon which we build this club. This includes
            having a club, members, participants, and staff that look
            like our community and that represent what this communi-
            ty believes in.
                                                                                             CLICK HERE TO PLAY

            Ajax continues to align with Canada Soccerʼs LTPD stan-
            dards and takes a building from the ground up approach
            to pursue acceptance in this standards-based league to
            provide the highest level of competition possible for our
            members and participants.
