The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any player who has a mental or physical disability. Our goal is to enable the thousands of young athletes with disabilities to become valued and successful members of the North Carolina Soccer family.<\/p>\n    <p>TOPSoccer is designed to reach and meet the needs of players ages 5 to 21 with physical and\/or mental disabilities. The program caters to player development rather than competition. TOPSoccer takes these children off the sidelines and allows them to participate in the game of soccer.<\/p>\n    <p><strong>Why do we need a TOPSoccer Program?<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p>TOPSoccer was formed to perpetuate the US Youth Soccer mission statement which is, in part, &#8220;to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of America&#8217;s youth through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and competition.&#8221; There are thousands of children with disabilities who need and can be provided with the opportunity to play soccer through the TOPSoccer program.<\/p>\n    <p>TOPSoccer athletes will develop a sense of belonging and will learn the value of being part of a team; improve their self-esteem, fitness and social skills; and most importantly, have FUN!<\/p>\n    <p>For more information on how to start a TOPSoccer program at your association, please email <a href=\"mailto:jamie@ncsoccer.org\">Jamie McLeod<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550 RESOURCE LINKS \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550 -->\n<section class=\"links-section\">\n  <div class=\"section-label\">\n    <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71\"\/><path d=\"M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71\"\/><\/svg>\n    <span>Resources<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <h2 class=\"section-title\">TOPSoccer Resources<\/h2>\n\n  <div class=\"links-grid\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/ncsoccer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/167\/2024\/07\/usystopsocceractivityguide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-block\">\n      <div class=\"link-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M14 2H6a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v16a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h12a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V8z\"\/><polyline points=\"14 2 14 8 20 8\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-text\"><h3>USYS TOPSoccer Activity Guide<\/h3><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-arrow\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/usyouthsoccer\/programs\/TOPSoccer\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-block\">\n      <div class=\"link-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"10\"\/><line x1=\"2\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"22\" y2=\"12\"\/><path d=\"M12 2a15.3 15.3 0 0 1 4 10 15.3 15.3 0 0 1-4 10 15.3 15.3 0 0 1-4-10 15.3 15.3 0 0 1 4-10z\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-text\"><h3>US Youth Soccer&#8217;s TOPSoccer Website<\/h3><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-arrow\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/ncsoccer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/167\/2026\/02\/08_topsoccer_parents_guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-block\">\n      <div class=\"link-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M20 21v-2a4 4 0 0 0-4-4H8a4 4 0 0 0-4 4v2\"\/><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"7\" r=\"4\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-text\"><h3>USYS TOPSoccer Parent Guide<\/h3><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-arrow\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/ncsoccer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/167\/2025\/09\/USYS_TOPS_Grant_Program_2025-26_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-block\">\n      <div class=\"link-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><rect x=\"2\" y=\"7\" width=\"20\" height=\"14\" rx=\"2\" ry=\"2\"\/><path d=\"M16 21V5a2 2 0 0 0-2-2h-4a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v16\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-text\"><h3>2025-26 US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer Grant Program<\/h3><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-arrow\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/ncsoccer\/links-disabled-service-organizations\/\" class=\"link-block\">\n      <div class=\"link-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M17 21v-2a4 4 0 0 0-4-4H5a4 4 0 0 0-4 4v2\"\/><circle cx=\"9\" cy=\"7\" r=\"4\"\/><path d=\"M23 21v-2a4 4 0 0 0-3-3.87\"\/><path d=\"M16 3.13a4 4 0 0 1 0 7.75\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-text\"><h3>Links \u2014 Disabled Service Organizations<\/h3><\/div>\n      <div class=\"link-arrow\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M12 5l7 7-7 7\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550 FAQ \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550 -->\n<section class=\"faq-section\">\n  <div class=\"section-label\">\n    <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"10\"\/><path d=\"M9.09 9a3 3 0 0 1 5.83 1c0 2-3 3-3 3\"\/><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"17\" x2=\"12.01\" y2=\"17\"\/><\/svg>\n    <span>FAQ<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <h2 class=\"section-title\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('active');this.nextElementSibling.classList.toggle('open')\">How Do I Enroll My Child in TOPSoccer?<\/button>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n      <p>Players will need to enroll with a local TOPSoccer Program.
