SEASON START DATE CHANGED TO MARCH 8.
PLEASE REFER TO EMAIL SENT TO FAMILES 2-26-2021. Excerpt below:

Parents, 
Based on the Governor’s new executive order and the expiration of Mecklenburg County’s health directive, all county facilities, including parks, will re-open to the public on March 1. Specific guidance for school-operated fields has not yet been released, but is expected to follow the county’s lead. However, as of today, Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools have not yet made an  announcement to allow us to utilize their fields.

While the re-opening is great news for our soccer program, the late notice, combined with extremely wet field conditions, has led CSA to the difficult decision to postpone the start of the season to March 8. This will allow CSA staff to prepare the fields for our return and organize staffing to help ensure a smooth start to the season for all families.

This delay affects all rec teams scheduled to practice at the following locations:
McAlpine Elementary School
McKee Road Park
McClintock Middle School
Colonel Beatty Park
Palisades Soccer Complex
Red Ventures Soccer Complex
Frank Liske Park
Old Mount Pleasant Middle School field

More information will be provided next week, but please plan to return to the fields starting the week of March 8. The start date for games will also be pushed back a week to March 20.

Thank you for your interest in our U12 South Programs.

We are about to begin our season and have closed registration for the U12 programs in the South Charlotte area.
