On May 4th the National Soccer Hall of Fame is inducting the first ever ParaOlympian, Josh McKinney. On May 5th he along with other coaches in the Dallas area, are running a FREE soccer clinic at Toyota Soccer Park. Children do not need to have participated in the sport before to attend. We are looking to provide a fun opportunity for children to engage in activities and experience soccer. We would love if you would share the information with your parents. All participants are partnered with a “buddy” who will stay with them throughout the clinic. This is an incredible opportunity for children to have fun and participate in adaptive physical activity.
Information:
TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) Play Day is for children with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities and provides people with diverse abilities an opportunity to play soccer in a structured environment that is safe, fun, supportive, and inclusive. North Texas Youth Soccer and US Youth Soccer are hosting a free morning of TOPSoccer activities and games in Frisco, TX. This Play Day coincides with the induction of Josh McKinney to the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Josh was the captain of the US Para National Team and competed in three Paralympics.
