TOPSoccer Volunteers Needed!
Become a TOPSoccer Buddy
What is TOPSoccer?
TOPSoccer is a community-based training and placement program for children with disabilities that allows them to be part of a soccer club. Through TOPSoccer, young athletes in grades K-12 will be working on teamwork, socialization, physical fitness, self-esteem, and development of skills. Activities will be adapted and modified as needed to allow participation and enjoyment for each child.
What is a Buddy?
A buddy is a volunteer paired up with a TOPSoccer athlete. The role of a buddy can include creating successful opportunities for athletes, facilitating interactions with other athletes, and keeping the athlete safe and engaged. Soccer experience is not required, but can be a plus, and you can earn community service hours for your commitment to the program. Training will be provided for all buddies.
Sign up to be a buddy if…
- You are at least 12 years old
- You can make a commitment to the program, attending at least 5 of the 7 sessions
- You can commit to attending one training session (about 30 minutes)
- You want to give back to your community in a unique and meaningful way
