TOPSoccer is a community-based training and team placement program for young
athletes with disabilities, organized by youth soccer association
volunteers. The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and
playing soccer to any boy or girl, ages 7-18, who have a mental or physical
disability. Our goal is to enable young athletes with disabilities to become
valued and successful members of the US YOUTH SOCCER family. TOPSOCCER was
formed to perpetuate the US YOUTH SOCCER mission statement, which is, in
part, "to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development
of America's youth through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and
competition." There are thousands of children with disabilities who need,
and can be provided with, the opportunity to play soccer through the
TOPSoccer program. Fire FC is proud to offer this opportunity in November.
