TOPSoccer
TOPSoccer was formed to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of America's youth through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and competition. There are thousands of children with disabilities who need and can be provided with the opportunity to play soccer through the TOPSoccer program.
OVF Alliance is proud to host our own TOPSoccer program, run by Salvador Maciel and in partnership with Jackson Street Youth Services. Each season we work with local facilities and community partners to create an opportunity for our youth to come and participate in the beautiful game. A typical session will meet once a week for 8 weeks, and as much as possible we work to have a group in Albany and a group in Corvallis. Due to some exciting changes in our local soccer community, we are able to host a TOPSoccer program in only Albany during the 2024-2025 Fall season, and a program in only Corvallis during the 2024-2025 Winter season. Please note that all participants are welcome to join both the Albany and Corvallis sessions.

Coach Sal has sent the following email to all registered participants with more information:
Dear TOPSoccer Families,
First, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone for your patience and for completing your registrations for the fall season. I apologize for the delay in getting information out to you; a lot has been happening behind the scenes. Rest assured that a tremendous amount of time and energy has gone into reorganizing and rescheduling our program to ensure a successful season.
As some of you may know, Coach Sal has recently accepted a head coaching position at South Albany High School for the boys' soccer program. This exciting opportunity has required significant adjustments to our schedules, but I’m happy to announce that we will still have a full fall season, starting on Monday, September 23, 2024, and running for eight weeks until Monday, November 11, 2024.
We plan to hold our sessions outdoors if the weather permits; otherwise, we'll move indoors at South Albany High School. Our youth ambassadors from Jackson Street will continue to support us, and I’m thrilled to share that my varsity squad will also be stepping in as buddies for our players this season. This means every player will have a dedicated buddy, which is something we’re all very excited about!
Now, I have some less exciting news to share. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to continue our Thursday Corvallis group this fall, as South Albany High School’s boys' soccer games are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To accommodate this, the Albany group’s new meeting day will be Mondays.
However, there’s good news for Corvallis! Corvallis Sports Park has agreed to let us run the TOPSoccer program during the winter season, as long as road conditions are safe. We will be able to offer a full eight-week session for the Corvallis group during this time. Importantly, all participants are welcome to join both the Albany and Corvallis sessions.
This will likely be our schedule moving forward in the fall, due to my role at South Albany High School. Thank you all for your understanding and continued support. I look forward to another great season with our amazing TOPSoccer community!
Salvador Maciel
