    TOPSoccer coaches and administrators have taken formal USYS education and certification training that assists them in successfully delivering the program. In addition to providing coaching strategies and tactics specifically for children with special needs, the training identifies the traits of the most common disabilities and provides guidance on how to modify typical soccer practice activities so everyone can be successful.

  • Buddies make TOPSoccer go!

    Each participant is assigned a volunteer, trained “Buddy,” who is typically a little older and neurotypical. This Buddy works with their player individually and makes sure they are safe, engaged, supported, and having fun. The player-Buddy relationship is maintained throughout the course of a season, resulting in strong interpersonal bonds and an establishment of trust and confidence that allows each player to achieve their full potential.

  • Play will be held every Sunday between March 2nd - April 6th, 2025 at Kraemer Fields in Albuquerque. Play kicks off at around noon, and lasts about an hour and a half. The season will end with a fun, exciting festival!
