Welcome to Eastside Timbers TOPSoccer! Our program is part of the US Youth Soccer TOPSoccer initiative, designed to provide children and adults with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities the opportunity to play soccer in a safe, fun, supportive, and inclusive environment.
For inquiries, please contact Joslynn Bigelow at topsoccer@eastsidetimbers.com.
Teamwork: Through engaging soccer activities and games, players learn to trust and rely on others, fostering a sense of camaraderie and teamwork.
Perseverance: Players are encouraged to overcome challenges and keep trying, building resilience and determination.
Confidence: Success on the field boosts players' confidence, which positively impacts their lives off the field.
Coaches: Our coaches and administrators are USYS educated and certified, equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively coach children with special needs. They provide tailored coaching strategies and modify typical soccer activities to ensure every player succeeds.
Groupings: Players are grouped by ability, not age, allowing them to develop at their own pace and engage with peers of similar abilities.
Join Eastside Timbers TOPSoccer and experience the joy of soccer in a nurturing environment where every player is celebrated. Grow, learn, and have fun with us as we make soccer accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
We have two locations for our TOPSoccer Program:

Our first-ever Eastside Timbers TOPSoccer Disability Resource Fair was a success!
Monday, October 23rd, 2023
We held our first Disability Resource Fair at Troutdale Indoor Sports and we couldn't be happier with the turnout! Thank you to all who came out as vendors to answer questions and share your knowledge with our players, parents, and support people. We had 12 wonderful vendors educating our crew (and other vendors) as to how they serve our players from childhood to adulthood. We'd like to thank our vendors, host (Troutdale Indoor Soccer), our families, and volunteer Holly White for their efforts to make this event a success.
