History
Toronto Skillz was founded in 2008 in the south east corner of Toronto, in the former city of Scarborough.[3]
The club joined the semi-professional League1 Ontario in 2016,[4] naming former Trinidad and Tobago player Leslie Fitzpatrick as their coach.[5] He coached the team until 2018, when he moved on to coach at George Brown College.[6] They played their inaugural match on May 1, 2016, at home against Woodbridge Strikers and despite getting an early lead, lost by a score of 2-1.[7]
Ahead of the 2022 season, it was announced that their League1 Ontario license was acquired Electric City FC of Peterborough.[8][9] In February 2022, they announced that they would serve as one of Electric City's affiliates, operating a team in the League1 Ontario U21 Reserve Division, under the Skillz name, while wearing the Electric City crest on the sleeve.[10]
In 2024, their senior teams became known as Scarborough Town FC to better connect to the Scarborough area of Toronto.[11]
