SAVANNAH, GA, – Tormenta FC TOPSoccer was created for children with learning disabilities to foster the physical, mental, and emotional development of America’s youth through soccer at all levels of age and competition. Since starting in 2019 with the help of Savannah-based company Broughton Partners’ sponsorship, families have come from around Georgia and South Carolina for this community-based charity event for fun, friendship, and life-changing experiences.
This year TOPSoccer has joined forces with Savannah AMBUCS, a local chapter of National AMBUCS, Inc. AMBUCS is a non-profit service organization consisting of a diverse group of men and women who are dedicated to inspiring mobility and independence. In addition to soccer, this year will see the addition of the Little League Challenger Division. As a result of this partnership, TOPSoccer participants will now have the opportunity to play both soccer and baseball in the same season.
The Little League Challenger Division plays at Ambuc Park at 7230 Sallie Mood Drive in Savannah and is organized as a league where everyone plays. Games are played on Sundays from March through June at 3 pm. The Little League Challenger Division® was founded in 1989 and is Little League’s adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and intellectual challenges.
Any individual with a physical or intellectual challenge may participate. The Little League Challenger Division accommodates players ages 4 to 15.
The TOPSoccer kicks off its Spring Season in April with several dates across Georgia and South Carolina. Parents can sign up their children ages 4 to 19 to participate and create a lifetime of memories for just $30. Sign-ups will be done quickly and efficiently through PlayMetrics, and old participants can use their already existing accounts to resubmit.
On Sunday, April 7 the program will have the AMBUCS Beach’ABLE’ Tybee Day, which will serve as a kickoff for both programs this spring. The AMBUCS team will set up a soccer area for the kids to play on. The kickoff will take place on the beach from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm at the 16th Street (Tybrisa) Cross Over beach entrance. In the evening, there will be a crab race fundraiser at 7:00 pm at Hucapoos on Tybee.
