TOP Soccer is Back This Spring

Cape Ann Mariners

March 1, 2025

Hi everyone - My name is Andy Fiedler from Masco/Topsfield Youth Soccer.  Like we did in the Spring and Fall of 2024, Masco, Ipswich, HamWen Youth Soccer are running a Spring 2025 TOPSoccer program which will take place on Sundays from 9am-10am in Ipswich, 4/6 to 6/1/2025.

A little background on the program.  Masco Youth Soccer (MYS) is partnering with Ipswich and Hamilton Wenham Youth Soccer for a local "Cape Ann Mariners" US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer program, based out of Ipswich.  TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a recreational soccer program for children and adults with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities offered only through local US Youth Soccer-affiliated soccer clubs. TOPSoccer provides people with diverse abilities an opportunity to play soccer in a structured environment that is safe, fun, supportive, and inclusive.  Please see below for link for details on the nationwide program.

***In addition to TOPS players, we are looking for High School students to serve as TOPSoccer Buddy volunteers for the Spring.***  The role of a Buddy is to work on the field with the athletes who need help and support.  Soccer experience NOT NEEDED.  Volunteer buddies get Masco required Community Service hours for this as well.  I have included Buddy sign-up sheet link here:
