CSA Announces New Partnership with Mecklenburg Union Futbol Club

Charlotte Soccer Acadey is extremely pleased to announce our new strategic partnership with Mecklenburg Union Futbol Club (MUFC). With this new partnership MUFC and CSA will utilize each other’s resources to provide a wider offering of training curriculum, facilities and opportunities to pool both clubs’ players and coaching personnel. In addition, both clubs will also have full support of each other’s tournaments for the 2012-13 season.

Both MUFC and CSA will devote time to work together to enhance and grow the developmental programs such as the Academy and recreation leagues. This will also offer more opportunities for all players, in a broader geographic area, to play in a strong formalized league structure regardless of their ability, age, or gender. The plan is to have a joint recreational program that will be run out of existing facilities allowing players to register for either program with the understanding that they will ultimately receive the same level of instruction.

We look forward to the great opportunities this partnership will bring to both clubs and youth soccer in and around the region.

4 & Under Summer Program

04/27/2012 08:59 AM

4 and Under Summer Program

New this summer, we are offering two six-week sessions of our popular Tots-n-Tykes program designed for beginner soccer players ages 4 and under!

This league is a non-competitive, child physical development program for children 2.5 years to 4 years old, AND their parents. It is designed to introduce children to the game of soccer at an early age in a fun and comfortable environment. The program features “the original” Soccer Corral while incorporating creative skill challenges, music, and specially designed equipment to teach basic soccer skills such as kicking, passing, turning, running, jumping, and more. While heavy emphasis is placed on developing fine and gross motor skills related to soccer, equal importance is given to helping your child develop social skills and self-confidence. Parents fully participate & assist their children in the learning process and develop a deeper knowledge of the game as well. While the instructional factor is emphasized over the competitive factor, the older children will be introduced & phased in to learning 1v1, 2v2, and then 3v3 match play.
