TOPSoccer Program for Special Needs Athletes

EMFC is pleased to offer the TOPSoccer Program, which provides a series of weekly soccer clinics for kids with special needs. These clinics start in late November each year and last for ten weeks.

Background

Mac Wilson and Barry Kosoris, former owner of Kick City Indoor Soccer Arena, created the TOP Soccer program in Eugene/Springfield in 1999. These weekly soccer clinics for kids with special needs have been offered every winter for ten sessions, starting in late November each year.

Mac has been the Coordinator and Head Coach for this fine program since its inception. His skills as a Special Education Teacher have been invaluable as this program has grown each year to a total of 25 participants this year. Mac's connections to the special educators in this community have enabled this program to become well publicized and available to a variety of participants.

Beginning in 2009, Jeremy Flores has suceeded Mac Wilson as the Coordinator and Head Coach of the TOP Soccer program for EMFC.

Volunteers and donations

Volunteers or buddies have been recruited annually from the local middle and high schools and have been offered community service credit as an incentive.

Private and corporate donations have and will continue to provide the financial means to create a top-notch program for these deserving soccer players.
