Play football like a pro with some help from the Argos

03 October 2013 - by ymcablog

Come out to select YMCA centres this month to learn football skills and drills taught by star players from the Toronto Argonauts!


As part of after-school programming at Y locations across the GTA, Argonauts players will engage youth in a series of one-hour sessions that will teach them about the game of football using basic, non-contact football conditioning drills. Players will also use the time to show youth how football can teach teamwork and cooperation, while also keeping them physically fit.

Argos logoAll students who participate in the program will receive a ticket to the Argos’ final regular season home game on Friday, November 1 against the Montreal Alouettes. Also, $5 from every ticket purchased to the November 1 game through a special offer to YMCA staff and members  will be donated back to the YMCA of Greater Toronto and reinvested in our local youth.
