Soccer Across America

Soccer Across America (SAA) introduces the sport of soccer to youth living in communities not yet served by existing clubs and leagues. Focused on making soccer available to lower-income children in underserved communities in Indiana, SAA provides soccer training and administrative guidance to players and organizations that might not otherwise be exposed to the sport. In addition, it helps new programs find the funding and equipment to begin and later, expand their activities. Over the past several years, Indiana Youth Soccer's Soccer Across America program, through the Indiana Soccer Foundation  has donated thousands of dollars in financial support, equipment and administrative assistance to programs across the state of Indiana.

TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer)

TOPSoccer is a community-based program that provides special needs athletes the opportunity to participate in soccer-related activities. The soccer experience is adapted to the skills and ability of the athletes and offered to all ages of challenged athletes. This program strives to create an environment where these athletes enjoy a level of success, exposure to exercise and development of a sense of belonging. Fun for the athletes and the volunteers is highly emphasized! The Indiana Soccer Foundation goal is to provide funding that will enable thousands of young athletes with special needs to integrate as successful members in their community and of Indiana Youth Soccer family.
