US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities, organized by youth soccer association volunteers. The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any boy or girl, 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 US Youth Soccer family.

Virginia Rush volunteers/employees/mentors organize and run this program. VA Rush players and local high school players act as buddies for the participants. The buddies give each athlete individual attention and are an essential, integral component in making the program a success.

This program, a unique opportunity to learn and play soccer, enables the young people with disabilities in our area to become valued and successful members of the Virginia Rush and US Youth Soccer family. It is our goal to ensure the experience is meaningful for the participating athletes, and one in which they feel they have made a contribution. In this program, everyone is a winner! Currently, the program runs in the fall and spring.
