A CYSA affiliated soccer program for youths with special needs.
Soccer is for Everyone!
TOPSoccer is a soccer program/opportunity serving youths with special needs. The players range from 4 years of age to 16 years. Special instructional training is given to the volunteer coaches as well as the player “buddies”. CYSA (California Youth Soccer Association) offers this program as their Division V Recreational Soccer Program. The players are registered CYSA soccer players and are therefore covered under the applicable liability insurance policy.
It is our intention to once again offer this program to the communities of Sonoma County. It is also our hope that with the help of various sponsors, we continue to offer this program at NO CHARGE to its participants. In order to be successful at this it is necessary to secure field space, a volunteer base, uniform sponsor, team pictures, and trophies.
The TOPS program is a wonderful opportunity to show how as a community, we take interest in all of our youth, and that all children are able to participate in sports programs. The TOPS program also teaches independence, teamwork, social skills and diversity. The “buddy” program as mentioned above, is the assistance of typically high school age students who play along side of our players. This system is most important with children whose needs are greater. The students benefit from an opportunity to learn about the players as well as possibly making this program a Junior or Senior project.
We plan to have two sessions with 8 playdates each - one in Fall and one in Spring.
We need Coaches and Volunteers directly!

We need to recognize our sponsors:
Thank you DK Embroidery/Monogramming for their very generous donation. Our custom coaches polo shirts not only are beautifully done, but serve to ensure the safety of our players by making our coaches easily identifiable.
Score American Soccer Company Inc. for their very generous donation of player uniforms and additional equipment. Our players are given a sense of TEAM and their self-esteem and confidence benefits by having a real soccer uniform to play in. Our new equipment supports our program and insures the safety of each player.
We are in need of financial donations for field use and well as player equipment and general administrative costs. Please make donations to the Annadel Soccer Club.
