TOPSoccer Spring 2018

Soccer Ball: Each player is required to bring a soccer ball to all practices and games. Players should have a leather or synthetic ball (NO PLASTIC BALLS). All ball need to be properly inflated. We recommend that all players have a pump to pump their own ball but coaches should also have a pump.
Back Pack: Players should bring their bag to all practices and games. In it should always be their ball, pump, needles for the pump, cleats, shin guards, socks, hair bands (as needed) and required uniform pieces.
Shin Guards: Must be worn during all practices and games.
Shoes: Players should have the appropriate shoe for the field and weather. Shoes should be cleaned after each game and practice.
Practice Uniform: Each player should wear appropriate athletic gear to practice. Girls must have a shirt on at all times (may not train in sports bras) and boys must have a shirt on at all time (no shirts and skins games). Players with long hair should have it pulled back in a pony tail or braid.
Game Uniforms: Must be washed, clean and in good condition. All uniform pieces must be brought to all matches regardless of location the of the match (home or away). &nbsp;

We began our Spring TOPSoccer program on Friday at gates North with 25 participants and 27 volunteer "buddies" helping assist each participant. Special thanks to our Morgan Murray, our TOPSoccer coach and Tommy Alioto, our Storm Recreational DOC, for helping run the program this spring.

The TOPSoccer program is a recreational soccer program designed to provide a supportive and fun soccer experience for kids living with intellectual and physical disabilities for age 5-18. The program will incorporate physical activity, soccer skill training, friendship building and athletic competition.
