WHAT IS TOPSOCCER?
US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities, organized by youth soccer association volunteers. The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any boy or girl, who has a mental or physical disability. The goal of the program is to enable the thousands of young athletes with disabilities to become valued and successful members of the US Youth Soccer family.
TOPSoccer creates a fun, adaptive environment for players 4 to 21 years old. Programs are geared toward player development rather than competition. Athletes learn skills and have fun!
Upcoming TOPS Events
