"TOPSoccer is an amazing program. It opens
up the game of soccer to any boy or girl, who has a mental or physical
disability. It started small, as a grassroots effort by parents with
a wonderful vision. Then US Youth Soccer nutured it. Now, with the generous
backing of Uniroyal Tire, it's fast becoming one of the most widely
praised youth sports programs in America - while keeping true to its
grassroots approach. It goes right along with US Youth Soccer's mission
"to foster the physical, mental, and emotional growth and development
of America's youth through the sport of soccer at all levels".
Why do we need TOPSoccer? So that every
kid can know the rewards of playing on a team, of trying to score -
of being in the game! It brings a sense of accomplishment and sheer
joy to kids who otherise would have to sit on the sidelines. Parents
can't praise it enough, the siblings enjoy helping and cheering, the
kids' laughter and enthusiasm are infectious- In the program, everyone
comes away a winner. I hope you'll get involved in TOPSoccer in your
community".
