The Pennsylvania Rush Thunder is a part of the Total Outreach Program for Soccer (TOPS). This is a national program, for soccer players with special needs. This special needs program was established to promote the game as a unique segment of our club’s community.
Pennsylvania Rush Thunder Soccer’s Vision
To provide and environment where Special Needs players with mental and physical disabilities can participate in soccer training and play games. Our players will experience the joy of learning soccer skills and using them to play games.

We Need Buddies for our Thunder Players!
We are looking for those individuals that would like to join our program to be a Buddy. Buddies are boys and girls ages 8+. Buddies will work with our players, taking directions from our trainers, assisting the players with staying on task and offering guidance. Participating as a Buddy can earn you community service hours. There is no charge to be a Buddy.
Thank you!
