this program is on development, training, and meaningful participation rather than on competition. TOPSoccer
was formed to perpetuate the United States Youth Soccer Associations (USYSA) mission statement, which is “to
foster the physical, mental, and emotional growth and development through the sport of soccer at all levels of
age and abilities.” Our goal is to enable these young athletes with disabilities to develop their physical fitness,
technical skills, courage, and self esteem, through the joy and excitement of soccer
