The emphasis of CSA RECREATIONAL SOCCER is on players having fun and making new friends while participating in the great sport of soccer!
We have a CENTRALIZED GAME LOCATION. There are no games played at Palisades, Colonel Beatty Park, or Uptown/McClintock. Those are practice venues only. See below for full game info.
Our program utilizes PARENT VOLUNTEER COACHES! Without coaches, there will not be teams! Please consider volunteering to coach your child's team. You can volunteer during registration, and we offer reimbursement of the fees for the child of the head coach!
Our programs are TEAM-BASED, OPEN ENROLLMENT programs! There are no tryouts or evaluations for our general recreation programs. Teams are formed based on practice night and friend requests within your age group.
