From Executive Director Brad Wylde, “I want to congratulate all the coaches, players and Directors of Coaching for their accomplishments this season. This is a fantastic achievement for our entire program. When you combine this success with our ECNL National and Regional programs on both the boys’ and girls’ side, it continues to solidify the progression of CSA to be one of the strongest clubs in the region and country from top to bottom. A lot of credit needs to go to the coaching staff and the Directors of Coaching, who have done a fantastic job with all of the teams within their age groups this season. We hope the respective teams will perform to their full potential next weekend and put themselves in a position to win a state title. Regardless of the results, we are very proud of all the teams and coaching staff and we hope they relish the experience next week. Congratulations to all and good luck.”
