Our Youth Rec League is for players ages 5-15 and of all skill levels:
-
Equal Play Policy - all players will have equal playing time regardless of skill level.
-
Modified rules - adult soccer rules get simplified for our youngest players. As players mature, the rules graduate in complexity as well.
It operates independently from other leagues and clubs:
-
All games will be against other CAA teams/players.
-
This allows us to hold all members of CAA to the same standards.
-
Our R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Code of Conduct is taken very seriously, and everyone works together to enforce it.
-
Weekly practices will have time set aside for a devotional:
-
Players and coaches spend time studying the Bible with an emphasis on practical application.
-
God says to treat others how you want to be treated, but how do we do this? What does that look like on the soccer field?

Games begin with a midfield prayer:
-
We want to model Christ; therefore, we will set the example of putting God first for our players, coaches, referees and spectators.
-
The simple act of beginning a game in prayer goes a long way in setting the tone for the league.
Locations of Practices & Games:
-
The locations could vary each season. We often meet at Doerr Park, Butcher Park, Paul Moore Park and DeAnza Park.
-
Each player participates in one weekly practice (D1 & D2), and two weekly practices (D3 & D4)
