Candlewood Soccer Academy

Mission Statement:

Candlewood Soccer Academy is a program dedicated to the development of the areas best soccer talent. We are motivated by desire to provide advanced training to our top athletes through professional coaches and trainers and a dedicated group of volunteers. Before CSA our best athletes were leaving town programs to advance their skills, most often at great expense and definitely at great loss to their towns. In the worse cases, top athletes were leaving the sport entirely because advanced training could only come through "for profit" clubs. CSA exists to provide the training these top athletes deserve, bring lost athletes home, and do it a as low a cost as possible to ensure no more leave the sport we love. CSA is a registered premier club with the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA).

Operating Principles:

Success is achieved through teamwork and development of top class athletes. Player selection is extensive and fluid. Individual contributions of performance are recognized and rewarded. Playing time is earned not guaranteed.
