Charlotte Soccer Academy
Formed in 2009 as a result of a merger of two historically respected local clubs, Charlotte Soccer Academy has quickly evolved into the region's largest competitive youth soccer program and is indeed becoming one of the largest programs in the country. CSA is one of only two organizations in North and South Carolina to offer all levels of play under the USYS structure from recreation to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy for both boys and girls. Beyond its traditional footprint of service, CSA has responded to more regional demands for quality instruction by creating programs in Cabarrus County, Huntersville, Matthews, South Charlotte, Uptown Charlotte and sections in the Palmetto and Palisades areas. CSA provides quality instruction with nationally licensed coaches working with each player to develop all aspects of their game, affording them the best opportunity to play to their ability.
