The Outreach Program for Soccer (TOPS) is a community based training and team soccer program for young athletes with special needs. A TOPS soccer player is defined as any youth player, 6-18 years of age, with a physical or mental disability, who would like to play with a team based on ability, rather than age.
HMMS TOPS will place emphasis on teamwork, development, training and participation. Our goal is to enable young athletes with special needs to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage and self-esteem through the game of soccer. Six one-hour sessions will be held on Sunday afternoons.
We need volunteers to make this program a success! The program will need parentslcoaches to assist in organizing the sessions, and mentors (age 12 and up) to serve as "buddies" during the training sessions. Please indicate your willingness to be a TOP soccer volunteer on your registration form.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Eric Bowman at 732-1492 or 319-7398.
