Bringing the joy and excitement of the game of soccer to young athletes with physical, mental, and emotional challenges...

The TopSoccer program having both fall and spring sessions, is a program for children with physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Children who live in the Central Mass Area, and are between the ages of 5 and 15, are eligible to become TOPSoccer athletes.

TOPSoccer is a volunteer-driven, community-based program that brings the game of soccer into the lives of children with physical, mental, and emotional challenges. TOPSoccer athletes are given the opportunity to experience, enjoy, and play the game of soccer in a modified version that is specifically designed to help build a feeling of individual confidence and success.

The program sessions are held for one hour per week. Volunteer groups of trained coaches (Ages 15 & Older) serve as one-on-one facilitators to each TOPSoccer athlete. Athletes participate in soccer-specific activities that help them to experience a sense of personal achievement.

The Spring 2008 HYS TOPSoccer program will run from Sunday, March 30th, 2008 thru Sunday, May 18th, 2008. Online registration will begin on Saturday, February 16th, 2008 and end on Sunday, March 23rd, 2008.
