The Chantilly Youth Association is adding yet another program that will build the athleticism of our local children. CYA is proud to announce the addition of the USYS TOPSoccer program to their Spring Sports roster.  There is no charge to participate in this program.

 

TOPSoccer   (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community based training and team placement program for young athletes with special needs. The program, designed and administered by US Youth Soccer and its volunteer TOPSoccer committee, provides meaningful learning, developmental, and physical participation opportunities to these young athletes through the game of soccer. The emphasis on this program is on development, training and meaningful participation rather than competition. The program is open to any child with a disability including but not limited to: A.D.D., Autism, Hearing Impaired, Sight Impaired, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Cystic Fibrosis, Down’s syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Seizure Disorder and Spinal Bifida. It will be necessary to provide a medical release from a doctor in order for your child to participate.

 

Sessions begin on April 13th and will run through June 8th.  They will take place at Franklin Middle School, on Lees Corner Road in Chantilly, VA.  Sessions will be from 3pm-4pm. 

 

This is a volunteer program and as such CYA is looking for adults and students who would like to offer their time to work with this program. Adult volunteers should contact Susan Mulligan at stmulligan@verizon.net, student buddy volunteers please contact Genevieve McManus at Genevieve_McManus@yahoo.com.
