Piscataway TOPSoccer Program
In Fall 2021 Piscataway Soccer launched the start of a wonderful new program,
TOPSoccer -- an official US Youth Soccer program enriching the lives of young
athletes with varying disabilities through the game of soccer.
About the TOPSoccer program
Piscataway Soccer Club TOPSoccer program is being established for players with
physical and mental disabilities. 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 outdoors once a week on Saturdays for 45
minutes. Each session will include a 30-minute practice followed by a 15-30 minute
game. The season will run for 8 sessions.
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
8-week season. If you are interested in becoming a buddy, please register at
www.piscatawaysoccer.org. There will be a 2-hour virtual training program
scheduled prior to the beginning of the season 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. Registration is on the Piscataway website
(www.piscatawaysoccer.org) under the TOPSoccer tab.
