TOPSoccer: The Outreach Program for Soccer is a community based training and team placement program for young athletes with special needs. The program, designed and administered by US Youth Soccer and its volunteer TOPSoccer Committee, provides meaningful learning, development and physical participation opportunities to these young athletes through the game of soccer. The emphasis of this program is on development, training and meaningful participation rather than on competition. TOPSoccer was formed to perpetuate the US Youth Soccer mission statement, which is," to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and competition". The goal is to enable the thousands of youth athletes with disabilities to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage and self esteem trough the joy and excitement of playing soccer. This program accommodates all disabilities whether mental or physical and brings the joy of playing soccer to players who have not traditionally had a place in the youth soccer system.
This program is designed for children with disabilities, ages 5 to 21.
