Jr. Irish Soccer Club Partners With LOGAN To Begin A TOPSoccer Program.
March 6, 2020 – South Bend, Indiana: The Jr. Irish Soccer Club is pleased to announce a partnership with LOGAN to start a TOPSoccer program. TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community-based training program for all athletes with intellectual, emotional, and/or physical disabilities. The program strives to provide soccer opportunities (the opportunity of playing soccer) for players to develop at their own pace in a safe, fun, and a supportive and inclusive environment.
The program will begin this spring and be held at the Hannah and Friends neighborhood in South Bend at no-cost for the athletes. The professional coaching staff at Jr. Irish will run the program with the support of Jr. Irish players being used as “Buddies” to give each athlete a unique and personalized experience.
