What
CSA Recreational Soccer Program (U6 - HS age groups) 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 Volunteer Coaches and Assistant Coaches.
U5/U6 is a combined coed division in the Fall (Futures Program). In the spring, the U5 & U6 division will be split up. U5 (Futures Program) will be all coed only, U6 will have a Girls & Coed division.
Please see FUTURES PROGRAM (U5 age group) for more information.
***CSA FALL Recreational Program does not support age groups U9 - HS (birth years 2015 - 2005). CCPR runs the Fall program for those age groups.
