Outreach Programs
TOPSoccer
VYS fully funds the participation of ALL TOP Soccer participants!
VYS, in affiliation with US Youth Soccer under TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer), offers the opportunity to join in the soccer fun to players with disabilities ages 4 to 19 years old. The program is designed to involve children with varying disabilities in the enriching game of soccer.
Each child is paired with one or two volunteer buddies and coaches. Every Saturday afternoon during the fall and spring seasons, coaches will offer fun soccer drills tailored to each player’s ability.
Leveling the Playing Field
A world with no sidelines.
VYS is proud to partner with Leveling the Playing Field. LPF collects new and gently-used sports and playground equipment from local youth sports communities. Volunteers then sort the donations in our warehouse so we can distribute the gear to schools and organizations working to provide an affordable and accessible option to under-resourced youth groups, community programs and schools throughout several markets.
Pass with Purpose
Changing the game, one uniform at a time.
VYS is excited to partner with Pass with Purpose. Pass with Purpose is a local non-profit that collects gently used soccer team jerseys, shorts, and socks. They then sort and create soccer uniform kits in order to donate to groups of children across the globe so that they can play on teams with matching uniforms.
Pass with Purpose is also helping to level the playing field for girls who in many parts of the world are not encouraged to play sports. While soccer remains a male dominated sport in these places, having team uniforms gives girls the opportunity to play as a team just like boys.
Recycle Your Game
Are you interested in donating new or gently used sports equipment? VYS will host two Recycle Your Game events at the start of Spring and Fall season in order to collect and redistribute sports equipment to kids who love the game but don’t have the equipment to play.
Volunteer Opportunities
VYS, Leveling the Playing Field, and Pass with Purpose all host or participate in donation drives throughout the year. There is always a need for volunteers who want to help collect and sort through equipment and uniforms. If you are interested, please contact us below. Service learning hours provided to High School and Middle School volunteers.
