The Outreach Program for Soccer, or TOPSoccer, is a community-based recreational program specifically designed to help athletes with physical and mental disabilities participate in soccer. MYSL along with Jeff Kirshberg are proud to be bringing soccer to players who refuse to let their challenges stop them from playing the sport they love.

Volunteering with Cal South TOPSoccer

TOPSoccer relies heavily on help provided by “buddies.” Anyone can be a TOPSoccer Buddy: parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles or friends. No soccer experience necessary. If you want to take it a step further, why not become a coach? It’s easy, and there is a US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer Coaching Certification Course available free of cost.

If you would like to volunteer to assist or coach for the TopSoccer Progam please contact Jeffrey Kirshberg at kofijeff@yahoo.com

About TOPSoccer

Soccer can help kids with special needs gain confidence, improve social skills, and develop better coordination. Improvements in balance and motor skills often go hand in hand with progress made in cognitive function and academic achievement. Sports and exercise can improve proprioception, or the body’s sense of where it is in space and where the parts of the body are in relation to each other, which is important because autism often affects sensory processing Exercising and playing sports gets more oxygen to the brain, helps kids stay in shape, improves sleep habits, and can improve relaxation and decrease aggressive behaviors. And most importantly, soccer is fun.

The TOPSoccer program can accommodate only 20 players, so space is limited. What is the Murrieta Youth Soccer TOPSoccer Program?

•Community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities organized by youth soccer association volunteers.

•Program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any boy or girl, who has a cognitive or physical disability.
