TOPSoccer is played in the Fall (end of August – end of October). Sessions are offered at WRAL Soccer Park (Raleigh) and Thomas Brooks Park (Cary).
TOPSoccer runs on the dedication of trained coaches and volunteer buddies who ensure every athlete has a safe, fun, and meaningful experience on the field.
We are currently building out the fall season with paid coaches and assistant coaches. Check back for more information or reach out directly to get involved.
