Autism Empowerment Radio is delighted to welcome Julie Borghello on air to share about their exciting and accepting Salmon Creek TOPSoccer program located in Southwest Washington. Julie and Brandi Dyment are co-coordinators for Salmon Creek TOPSoccer. The primary goal of their organization is to enable children with disabilities to develop their physical fitness, self-esteem and friendships through the joy and excitement of playing soccer.In addition to talking about the program, Julie will also be announcing their Winter season schedule so that you can get involved! They are currently recruiting volunteer coaches, player buddies and of course, children who would like to play soccer! This particular program is affiliated with the Southwest Youth Soccer Association. There are also TOPSoccer organizations located throughout the United States. The Outreach Program for Soccer (TOPSoccer) enables people 4 years of age and up with physical and/or cognitive disabilities to be able to enjoy and play the World's Game. If you are interested in soccer for your child on the autism spectrum or with other disabilities and you are outside SW Washington, still listen in! We will also be talking about the program in general and let you know how you can connect or form a group in your local area. To connect with Julie, call (360) 326-3898 or email: [email protected]://www.swysa.net/topsoccer - Salmon Creek TOPSoccer http://www.usyouthsoccer.org/programs/topsoccer/ - US
