We operate our travel teams from Mid-August through Mid-June. All coaches are fully licensed and are 100% dedicated to working with your child to help shape him / her into the best player and individual they can be. Strong relationships with local High School coaches (both public and private) enhance the scouting and recruitment of our players. Our CSA Staten Island High School coaches have a proven track record of assisting players with taking the next step to play College soccer and we consistently produce DI, DII, and DIII recruits. The personal contacts established by our CSA Coaches across the College landscape have created a reliable and trustworthy network of recruitment. Teams will compete in Fall, Spring and Winter Events with the opportunity for in-house GK training, and additional training opportunities through our seasonal player clinics.
