CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Preseason 2020-21
Following our June Back to Play plan, CSA will enter into its summer series to get our teams formed and get players registered to kickstart our 2020 season.
Preseason for 2020-21 will begin the week of August 3rd with the club's annual preseason team camp. This will be the first week of practice which gives our players an opportunity to get together prior to the start of regular practice. Details of our preseason camp will be announced in the next few weeks with early bird discounts. Please continue to check the website and your emails for more information.
Regular training will start the week of August 10th. This will be followed by our
Dick's
Sporting Goods Charlotte Invitational
event kicking off with the boys event first followed by the girls event.
We are excited to be back on the field with our players doing a lot of technical work and small sided training this June. Starting the season fresh with the opportunity to play competitive games is something the club is looking forward to in light of the disappointing spring season due to the pandemic.
Please continue checking the website for more information.

It has been great for our coaching staff to see their players working hard at our technical sessions after this long break. Our Return to Play Plan was created in line with the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association, Governor Roy Cooper’s Phase 2 Reopening Plan and the CDC guidelines. T
he safety and well-being of our players, staff, volunteers, and club members remains our utmost priority. There is currently no vaccine to prevent the Coronavirus. Please follow this

IMPORTANT WARNING AND REMINDER!
CSA values everyone's safety and security. We are concerned about the recent reports of car break-ins at our complexes. We are reminding everyone to safeguard your valuables by taking your personal belongings out of the car and ensuring your car is locked while you are watching practices and games at all of our complexes.
The club is not responsible
for any theft or damage to vehicles or contents.
Signs
will be erected around the complex soon.
We have also received complaints on small children climbing on fences and playing on the banks around the fields surrounding the OrthoCarolina complex without adult supervision. Several staff have also had to remove young children from the fields during practices. Please monitor your children during events at the facilities and help the club protect the appearance of our complexes and safety of your kids.
