CSA Spring Futures Soccer Program (Birth year 2019, U5 age group) is geared towards introducing the game of soccer and helping players develop their skills in a safe and fun environment. The program is run by Adult Coaches and Helpers. The Futures Program is a coed division. The program has (6) academy style practice sessions and (6) "Festival Game Days" only.

Players will meet for practice sessions during the week based on availability of coaches and helpers. Festival days will be held on Saturdays. Coaches will inform team of game schedule once released. Depending on registration numbers, practice regions may be combined.

Practices will be in the region in which you register your child for. Festival days will be held on Saturdays at Hallowing Point Park. Depending on registration numbers, certain areas may be combined.

Six weeks (weather permitting). Six practice sessions and six festival games days.

At practices, the player will need to wear athletic attire, shin guards, athletic footwear (cleats are not required but strongly encouraged), soccer ball, and plenty of water. A recreational uniform kit (mandatory), shin guards, and athletic footwear (cleats are not required but strongly encouraged) are needed for all games.

The Futures Program will place players into set groups/teams for the season. 

On festival days, designated and CSA approved volunteer parent coaches who are assigned to a specific region pool will work with your child. Typically, 1-2 head coaches will be assigned to each group/team, with one of those coaches being designated as the RGC (Region Group Coordinator).

We are always looking for more volunteer parent coaches!

There are no official referees at festival day games. Coaches from each region pool within each game will act as referees to ensure player safety first and foremost. Amended rules of play will be provided to coaches prior to the first weekend of festival days. Helpers might be present to assist.

Festival days are a means in which the children will be provided an environment that encourages play over results. The groups/teams set to play against one another will see each child play in (3) 10 minute small sided 4v4 games with minimal subs on bench waiting to play per game. There will be multiple games being played simultaneously on the same field with short stoppages (5 minutes) between games in order for region pool coaches to shuffle players within their designated region. Festival "days" last about an hour.
