Kansas Youth Soccer Expands TOPSoccer Program into Wichita The Kansas Youth Soccer Association (KSYSA) and Sporting Wichita are proud to announce their joint endeavor to introduce the TOPSoccer program in Wichita, Kansas. This transformative initiative will provide children with diverse abilities with the opportunity to experience the joy of soccer in an inclusive and supportive environment.
KSYSA will offer essential training, expert guidance, and crucial resources to seamlessly implement the program in collaboration with Sporting Wichita. The primary objective is to furnish athletes with disabilities with a secure environment equipped with adaptive gear and dedicated, trained “buddies” who will ensure individual players’ success throughout the program. Our ultimate vision is to establish numerous programs across the state, with multiple clubs offering TOPSoccer Programs. Sporting Wichita proudly stands as the inaugural KSYSA TOPSoccer Program in Wichita, marking a significant milestone in our mission.
“I’m so excited to be partnering with the Executive Director, Daniel, and Sporting Wichita to bring TOPSoccer into their community. Daniel and Sporting Wichita have shown a genuine passion and dedication toward establishing a successful TOPSoccer program” Mallorie LaFarge TopSoccer Representative for Kansas State Youth Soccer.
“Since its inception, our club has fostered a close-knit, diverse, and family-oriented community. I’m thrilled to share our commitment to enhancing inclusivity by embracing Top Soccer, thereby broadening opportunities for everyone to actively participate in the beautiful game of soccer.” Daniel Fiszel, Executive Director of Sporting Wichita Soccer Club.
The Kansas Youth Soccer/US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community-centric training and team placement program tailored for young athletes with disabilities. Organized by the Kansas Youth Soccer Association and supported by dedicated club volunteers, this program is specially designed to extend the opportunity to every child with a mental or physical disability, enabling them to learn and engage in soccer. Our overarching goal is to empower thousands of young athletes with disabilities, integrating them as valued and accomplished members of the Kansas Youth Soccer and US Youth Soccer
