“TOPSoccer is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any boy or girl with special needs,” said Carol Cordiner, NJYS TOPSoccer Program Director. “The goal of TOPSoccer is to enable these young athletes to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage and self-esteem through the joy and excitement of playing soccer.”
RWJBarnabas Health, which is also the presenting sponsor of the NJYS Annual Awards Dinner, recently expanded its partnership to specifically support TOPSoccer. As part of that agreement, RWJBarnabas Health will sponsor TOPSoccer Coach and Buddy training as well as sponsor a TOPSoccer Jamboree.
“TOPSoccer is a terrific program that offers boys and girls with special needs, access to the game, in a welcoming environment,” said Barry H. Ostrowsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of RWJBarnabas Health. “It’s both inspiring and rewarding to support a program, proven to have such a positive impact on kids in the communities we serve.”
