Join BOLTS's free Virtual Soccer Contest
As we all work to keep our soccer communities safe during this uncertain time, Boston Bolts are participating in the P1-TopYa! @home skills contest, an opportunity for players to work on ball skills on their own at home. While teams may not be able to train together these coming weeks, we encourage all our players to touch the ball at home and work on skills.
As a Players First licensed club, and in light of current events, we have a valuable opportunity to participate in a FREE, exclusive @home Virtual Skills Contest powered by TopYa!. This program enables us to keep both
player health & safety AND player development
as the top priorities they are, even in these challenging times.
Here’s how it works:
Players watch exclusive P1 soccer skill videos in the TopYa! Soccer app, then they practice the skills and upload videos of them completing each skill.
Each player receives personalized feedback on every video they submit from TopYa!’s expert team of Virtual Coaches.
Players will get points for each approved skill video to climb the contest leaderboard for weekly prizes!

*NOTE: Any player

Once the Parent and Player accounts have been created, your child can participate in the contest!

The fine print and important info
:
The contest runs March 16 through April 15
While this is a free contest, there are in-app purchase options where players can purchase additional skills content to work on. Again, this is by no means required and most players will not even see the purchasable content options.
Any player under the age of 13 is required to have an associated parent account in the TopYa! Soccer app. This is for safety and privacy compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
