Worcester Wednesday Supports TOPSOCCER

6/4/2025

Berlin, MD – On Worcester Wednesday, May 28, students and faculty at Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) came together to support TOPSOCCER, a community-based program for young athletes with disabilities through River Soccer Club. The effort raised approximately $1,700 for the cause.

Each month, WPS students are invited to nominate charitable organizations for the school’s monthly Worcester Wednesday fundraiser. For May, junior Beckett Green submitted TOPSOCCER, an organization close to his heart. As a dedicated TOPSOCCER Buddy, Beckett volunteers his time working with players in the program, including his brother, Carson, helping to foster their growth through the game of soccer.

In exchange for a $5 donation, students and staff were invited to dress casually in black and yellow, the official colors of TOPSOCCER, showing their support for the program and the athletes it serves.

TOPSOCCER (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a national initiative under DYSA and US Youth Soccer. Its mission is to foster the physical, mental, and emotional development of youth with disabilities through participation in the sport of soccer at all levels.
