Why do TOPSoccer?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe emphasis of this program is on development, training, and meaningful participation rather than on competition. Our goal is to enable the thousands of young athletes with disabilities to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage, and self esteem, through the joy and excitement of playing soccer.

So that every kid can know the rewards of playing on a team, of trying to score \u2013 of being in the game! It brings a sense of accomplishment and sheer joy to kids who otherwise would have to sit on the sidelines. Parents can\u2019t praise it enough, the siblings enjoy helping and cheering, the kids\u2019 laughter and enthusiasm are infectious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIn this program, everyone comes away a winner.\u201d<\/p>\n Julie Foudy, US Women\u2019s National Team Olympic Gold and Silver Medalist, World Cup Soccer Champion<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\t
