TOPSoccer is a modified version of soccer that gives special needs kids from 4 to 21 the opportunity to play soccer with their peers and high-school age “Buddies” (volunteers). This program emphasizes development and meaningful participation rather than competition. One-on-one assistance is available to kids that need it. A program of SYSL, TOPSoccer enables the thousands of young athletes with special needs to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage and self-esteem, through the joy and excitement of playing soccer.

Why Soccer? Because it’s FUN! Soccer is also an excellent way for players to get exercise, improve coordination, and meet other kids dealing with the same or similar challenges.
