Congrats to Vicky Bruce & Raina Johnson competing for NC ODP team in Germany and Auburn Mercer for competing in Costa Rica.
Charlotte Soccer Academy would like to congratulate Vicky Bruce, Raina Johnson and Auburn Mercer. Both Vicky Bruce and Raina Johnson have returned from Germany after spending 7 days as part of the 1994 Region 3 ODP team. While in Germany they have competed against team such as FCR Duisberg and Borussia Moenchengladbach. Also Auburn Mercer returned from Costa Rica after the 95 ODP competed against South America competition.
ECNL Director Adam Denton said, "This is a great achievement for the players and the experience gained against playing against European and South American competition will serve Vicky, Raina and Auburn well in the future.”
Both Vicky and Raina are part of the 93 Girls Predator/ECNL team and Auburn is part of the 94 Girls Predator/ECNL team at Charlotte Soccer Academy.

Communication. The key to a successful club. ALWAYS ON UPDATES.
This will be on all my updates. Good communication is the key to a successful club. All families in the club should have the accessibility to communicate with your team coach and DOC throughout the season. Our coaches are reminded to have periodic meetings through the season to keep families up to date on the progression of the team. Emails for the DOCs and me are on the website if you need to communicate with us. If you need to talk in person, we are in the office each day and if you do not reach us directly, we will return a call in a timely fashion to address any questions or concerns. We have a fantastic full time staff here at CSA and some great team coaches. If you have any issues with your team, club etc please do not allow a problem to persist. Communicate with the staff so we can deal with it and move on in a positive way.
Brad
Executive Director CSA
