TOPSoccer (TOPS - The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a recreational sports program for children and adults with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities offered only through local US Youth Soccer-affiliated soccer clubs, such as the Lexington Youth Soccer Association (LYSA). TOPS provides people with diverse abilities with an opportunity to play soccer in a structured environment that is safe, fun, supportive, and inclusive.
The TOPS program was launched by the US Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) in 1990, and became one of LYSA’s leagues in 2009. LYSA’s TOPS program is run by volunteer administrators, coaches, buddies, and support staff. Sessions are held in the fall and the spring at a local indoor facility.
