Community Recreation for Young Athletes


Looking for a fun way to get young athletes with disabilities involved in physical recreation? TOPSoccer is a community-based program for athletes with disabilities; both physical and cognitive. The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning, playing, and falling in love with soccer to any player (age 8 and older) who has a disability. The goal is to enable the thousands of young athletes with disabilities to become successful members of US Youth Soccer, Indiana Soccer, and Cutters Soccer Club families.

On Monday, October 10th from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., a TOPSoccer event will take place at Karst Farm Park in Bloomington on Field 2. Directions to the park and a map can be found at: http://www.karstfarmpark.com/.

TOPSOCCER ATHLETES -  any players (age 8 and older), which have a mental or physical disability. Print out and complete Registration Packet (online at the Indiana Soccer website  http://www.soccerindiana.org/programs/topsoccer.aspx). Be sure to wear soccer equipment - cleats (or tennis shoes), shin guards, water bottle, and a WHITE shirt.

TOPSOCCER BUDDIES - volunteers age 12 and older, will help the athletes to understand concepts, activities, and encourage them through the session. To register email or call Joshua Budd at 812-630-5528 or joshua.budd@yahoo.com. Buddies should wear soccer clothes, cleats, and a RED shirt (preferably Cutters if you have one).
