TOPSoccer Buddy Training Slides

Volunteers, called "Buddies", are generally 12 and over. Buddies team up with individual players at practice to help them be successful with activities and team exercises, to build relationships, and to have fun. They share a love of soccer and/or connecting with others. No soccer or other experience is necessary. Community service hours are available. Volunteer as your schedule allows.

We work closely with local High Schools to provide service hours for the Harper Promise, Schaumburg High School CEP, and other community service organizations. Groups, teams, families, and individuals welcome.

Participating in SAA TOPSoccer provides Buddies the opportunity to:

Build meaningful connections and relationships

Gain experience serving the community

Receive training and mentoring from experts who work with children with disabilities

Take on leadership roles during practices

Earn volunteer hours

Experience the joy that comes from helping others

We hope Buddies will take what that gain from TOPSoccer and apply it out in the community. Our goal is support our Buddies with being successful in TOPSoccer and beyond.

"I've coached for almost 20 years now in multiple sports and multiple age levels and nothing compares to this. It was one of the most fulfilling experiences I've ever had. To see the smiles of the children and to interact with them is beyond words and description."
