What is TOPSoccer? TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community based training and team placement program for young athletes with special needs. TOPSoccer provides meaningful learning, development, and physical participation opportunities to these young athletes through the game of soccer. The emphasis of this program is on development, training, and meaningful participation rather than on competition. Our goal is to enable the young athletes with disabilities to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage, and self-esteem, through the joy and excitement of playing soccer. |

TOPSoccer was started in Kearney, Nebraska when a group of individuals saw the need to complete the motto of the US Youth Soccer Association, which is "The Game for All Kids." TOPSoccer got its beginning in the Spring of 1998 with 9 players and, as of Fall 2002, we have 35 players. Besides players from Kearney, our players travel from Elm Creek, Holdrege, Minden, Pleasanton, and Riverdale. We meet two times a week with our Spring season beginning around the first part of May and our Fall season beginning after Labor Day weekend. We normally have 9-10 sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evening that last approximately 60 - 90 minutes. |
Our program is successful because of the dedication of the volunteers and the parents' participation. Each special needs player receives one-on-one attention at all times from a middle school, high school, college age volunteer. Each skill or game is adapted to each child's special need and every child participates at the level that they are able. The admiration and friendships between the players and coaches will leave both with valuable and lasting memories.If you have more questions or would like further information please call Roberta Loescher at 308-627-5370.
