Until its meeting last week, the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City didn’t know much about the TOPSoccer program. Every spring and fall River Soccer Club holds a weekly TOPSoccer program allowing players with disabilities to participate in a modified soccer activity with their peers. The players are assisted by volunteers from local high schools who typically donate their time to help the players. The volunteers provide a valuable resource by becoming buddies with the participants who need help and direction throughout the one-hour sessions.
