TOPSOCCER
TOPSoccer is an outreach soccer program that is designed to meet the needs of children and young adults with physical and/or mental disabilities. The program is designed to foster the physical, mental, and emotional growth of the child and to teach basic soccer skills in a fun and rewarding environment.
BECOME A VOLUNTEER COACH
Every year we need more coaches, assistants and team parents. The league depends on parents to fill all these positions,and we are always looking to add to our roster of coaches, at all levels of experience. If you would like to volunteer as a coach or assistant coach, or if you know someone who is interested in making a difference in a young soccer player’s life, please contact Erin Misaki, Director of Recreational Programs. No experience is necessary, we will train you!
You can also register online as a volunteer at the same time you register your child and let us know which position you would like. For Head and Assistant Coaches, our Division Coordinators will be your source of information. We will only form teams for the number of coaches we have. All other players will be placed on a wait-list until another coach volunteers.
The requirements for coaching are set by our parent organization, Cal South. All Head and Assistant coaches must go through Risk Management (fingerprinting) that is paid for by the league. In addition, coaches are now required to have a coaching license and we offer a minimum or two license classes per season. You will also be asked to attend a coaches meeting in August. For detailed information, contact Erin Misaki, Director of Recreational Programs.
