US Youth Soccer is proud to announce that this year's Grassroots Symposium will also incorporate sessions that support the growth and development of TOPSoccer and Adaptive Soccer programs. In addition to presenters on Saturday and Sunday during the symposium, we will also host a three-hour TOPSoccer workshop on Friday, September 20th. This workshop will have both a classroom and field component and take place at the Utah Youth Soccer office in Sandy, Utah. Attendees will engage in discourse regarding best practices for modifying activities to increase inclusion for all players. The first hour will focus on understanding who is in front of us and how to create appropriate modified sessions. The next two hours will focus on sharing, participating in, and facilitating modified activities.
Target Audience:
All current TOPSoccer Instructors, program leaders, coaches, and those interested in becoming TOPSoccer instructors.
