GSA TopSoccer

TOPSoccer is the outreach program for soccer designed to allow special kids the opportunity to play ball with peers and volunteer buddies.  The program is inclusive for kids age 3 and up for any child or young adult regardless of disability.  We play ball witha fleet of wonderful volunteer "buddies" and adapt soccer to the ability of the kids so that every child is a winner with success measured in smiles not goals. All play dates will be at beautiful Jonesville Park on either Friday evenings or Sunday afternoons and vary with the school vacation schedule, dates are always on the website.  We always cancel for rain and occasionally add extra days for beautiful weather so keep your eye on this website for updates.  For information about becoming a player or a "Buddy" see below.  Everyone is promised fun!

TOPSoccer players must must register online and pay a fee of $15 per year.

Scholarships are available upon request.  If you are having trouble registering online as a player, come to the fields for your first play date and forms will be available there or email registrar@gainesvillesoccer.org and we will assist you with the online registration process.  All players need to wear shin guards. T-shirts and water bottles will be provided.  Parents or other responsible adults are required to stay at the fields with players during play sessions. Any medical concerns that may affect player safety must be disclosed via email to dots@gainesvillesoccer.org and we will adjust play as needed to accommodate the issue.

TOPSoccer "Buddies" ie volunteers must fill out the volunteer form and the photo release form and bring original signed forms and a non returnable photo with you on the first day. No prior soccer experience is necessary, but compassion and a spirit of fun is expected. 

If you are using this site for a class requirement each session is approximately 2 hours of volunteer credit. Spring volunteers will NOT get enough hours for this site to be exclusive so additional volunteer sites will be needed to complete the 20 hour requirement.  Visit  http://endeavorrecreation.wetpaint.com or contact shellyv@UFL.EDU for more information about other adaptive recreation opportunities. To get credit for hours, all students requiring credit must keep their own log, as well as log in on site, with each play date they attend.  Please watch the website for date changes or email dots@gainesvillesoccer.org to receive the email updates.
