  • Boys play on Saturdays and Girls play on Sundays

PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO THE US SOCCER MANDATE, ALL YOUTH SOCCER AGE GROUPS ARE BASED UPON BIRTH YEAR.  

Example:  All children born in 2009 will play with kids born in 2009. The age groups are no longer established by school grade. Meaning a second grader may be playing with a third grader.

What are the timelines?

Once we reach the end of our discount period, teams counts are made and the search for coaches begins. We are a volunteer driven organization and we rely on our volunteer coaches to help run a successful program! Information on coaching at CASA can be found at https://casasoccer.org/rec-coach

The next step is once all coaches have been identified for an age group, rosters are formed by our recreational directors and sent to the coaches. The coaches are then the point of contact for the parents regarding practices and games.

The final piece is games begin! 

To recap: 

  • Discount period ends
  • Team counts determined
  • Search for volunteer coaches begins
  • Once coaches are found for an age group, rosters are created and sent to the coaches
  • Coaches take over communication and scheduling of practices!  

 

 

When will my child practice?

Holding practice when it is convienent for you is a HUGE benefit of volunteering to coach, as such our  volunteer coaches are given discretion of when and where to hold practices for their teams. 

If you have a child that is U5-U8 however, CASA does hold a professionally run practice session for these age groups 1 day a week for the start of the season to help guide our newer coaches and develop some consistency among our teams and players. This also helps cushion the void when we may have difficulties finding coaches.

This program is our diRECt program, and more information can be found here.

The schedule is typically as follows: 

  • U5/U6: Tuesday - 6-7p @ Ranger Fields 
  • U8: Wednesday 6-7p @ Ranger Fields
  • U7: Thursday 6-7p @ Ranger Fields

What will my child need to play at CASA?

  • Shinguards 
  • Cleats or Sneakers
  • Soccer Ball
    • U5-U8: Size 3
    • U9-U12: Size 4
