Testimonials

I like giving back to the community and could not have found a better organization to do this for. My son not only learns basketball which teaches him discipline, hardwork and teamwork, but also the value of education. You see for all the school aged participants of Lords part of the fees go to savings for post secondary education.  I am teaching my son the value of education in the long run and Lords makes education part of their foundation.  What more could I want as a reason to volunteer for an organization.

Terry O'Brien

Parent and Coach

Getting involved with Toronto Lords Basketball Association has been an amazing experience for our family. Since our first day with Lords, the coaches and administration at Lords has provided a fantastic experience for our family. Now as a coach at Lords, I get to coach my daughter and watch her and her new friends at Lords develop as basketball players and friends and I get the opportunity to give back to my community. I also get to bring my coaching philosophy of having fun and getting a little bit better at basketball each practice and game to life.

Dave Holmes
