TOPSoccer Buddy Form
We would love to have you be a buddy for our TOPSoccer program.
As a buddy, you will help and support soccer players with disabilities as they participate in soccer activities and games facilitated by the two main coaches, Alex and Mary.
The program will start on Wednesday, April 9th, and will run for 6 Wednesdays in a row. So it will end on Wednesday, May 14th. All sessions will be at the Old Butte Soccer Complex in Idaho Falls on Field 2. We will run 3 TOPSoccer sessions this fall.
Session 1- 5:00-5:45 pm (players are about age 5 to 8 years old)
Session 2- 5:45-6:30 pm (players are about age 9 to 11 years old)
Session 3- 6:30-7:30 pm (players are 12 years and older)
Buddies need to be at least 12 years of age and able to move around with a soccer player in a quick walk or light jog. As a buddy, your soccer player will become attached to you and look to you for help so it is very important you attend ALL 6 sessions. It is also important to arrive 5 minutes early to your session(s) so you are ready for your soccer player when he/she arrives!
Buddy training will be on Wednesday, April 2nd, from 6-7 pm at the Eastern Idaho Down Syndrome Family Connect office, 1675 S Woodruff, Idaho Falls. Please plan to attend this training if you are a first-time buddy or need a refresher.
Please fill out the form below and press "send" to let us know that you would like to be a buddy. You can sign up to be a buddy in multiple sessions! Mary will reach out to you as the start date gets closer and confirm that you know the location and check for any questions!
We need a lot of buddies this year as the program is growing! So please share this link with anyone you feel would be a great buddy!
If you have any questions please contact Mary Murray at mmurray@byslsoccer.org
