This Fall 2022 Chatham United will continues it's TOPSoccer program -- an official US Youth Soccer program enriching the lives of young athletes with special needs through the game of soccer.
About the TOPSoccer program
The Chatham United TOPSoccer program is for Chatham players with varying disabilities and aged 5-15 years of age with a birth date falling between October 1, 2007 and September 30, 2017. The emphasis of this program is on development, training, and meaningful participation rather than competition. TOPSoccer was formed to perpetuate the US Youth Soccer mission statement, which is, “to foster physical, mental, and emotional growth and development through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and competition.” Our goal is to enable our young athletes with disabilities to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage and self esteem, through the joy and excitement of playing soccer.
TOPSoccer is designed to give everyone a chance to play soccer, while providing the experience of working together as a team, achieving individual goals, and, most of all, HAVING FUN!
Game Details
All TOPSoccer games will be held once a week on Saturdays for 45 minutes. Each session will include a 30-minute practice followed by a 15-minute game. The season will run for 6 weeks starting in September 2022 with specific dates and times to be determined.
TOPSoccer Buddies
Each player will have a TOPSoccer Buddy assigned to provide 1:1 guidance and assistance with practice activities and games. TOPSoccer Buddies will consist primarily of high school-aged students who are willing to commit to the scheduled 6-week season. If you are interested in becoming a buddy, please send us an email at ChathamTOPSoccer@gmail.com. There will be a one day training program scheduled in August 2022 that all Buddies will have to attend in order to volunteer.
Fees
Registration fee is $50 per player to cover the cost of uniforms, end of season awards, and end of season celebration.
