Help others enjoy the beautiful game
Each October, a large gathering of TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) players from across the Midwest converge on Mason, OH in what is the highlight of their soccer season. This October will be the 24th edition of the Cincinnati TOPSoccer Fall Classic – truly a tradition like no other. Along with the soccer is a festival of fun for these players, with a Grand Parade to kick off the day, appearances from the likes of Spiderman, Elsa, and other heroes, food, raffles, blow-up soccer dart boards and bounce houses, and much, much more!
The theme for the Fall Classic this year is ‘Seas the Day’, and Cincinnati TOPSoccer is in desperate need for volunteers to help them seize the day and successfully pull off a wonderful event for these players
Ohio Soccer Association is proud to work alongside Cincinnati TOPSoccer to help continue to provide the game to all kids.
We believe that TOPSoccer is not only a great opportunity for the players, but also for the community. This is where you come in.
The Fall Festival will take place at Hope Church in Mason on October 8, from 10a-3p. If you or your team, coaches, parents, staff, and anyone else who would like to help can donate some of their time to help provide these athletes with a wonderful experience, we know that you’ll help make big smiles for kids with big hearts – and you’ll come away with a full heart too!
