TOPSoccer is a community-based play, training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities, run by local volunteers. It is designed to meet the needs of children with physical and/or other special needs who may have difficulty participating in traditional team sports. The program focuses on children challenged by the traditional soccer environment, including those with physical supports and wheelchairs. TOPSoccer is geared towards player development rather than competition. Our goal is to provide soccer opportunities for youth athletes with physical and/or mental disabilities. 

• Experienced ASA coaches introduce the game of soccer through exercises and games. 

• Players will be paired with a “Buddy” -youth volunteers ages 14-18. 

• Prior soccer experience is not necessary.
