Off Season Program

Spring 2026 Girls Off Season Program

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR GIRLS OFF-SEASON PROGRAM – SPRING 2026

Players must be registered to a 2025-2026 CSA team to participate in the CSA Off-Season Programs.


Open to 15U/2011, 16U/2010 and 17U/2009, and 18U/2008-07 girls in CSA Competitive programs.
Season: January 19 through April 26, 2026

Charlotte Soccer Academy will be offering their Off-Season Program for the 15U – 18U (2011-2007 birth year) girls in the spring season. This is for players that are not participating in spring high school sports programs so that they have a place to play and develop during that time.

The program will run from January 19th through April 26th, and the format will feature two practices a week as well as in-house games. The in-house games will be a small-sided version, either 7v7 or 9v9 (depending on number of players). This format will be helpful for player development in terms of more touches on the ball and more decision making in smaller spaces. The players will participate in CSA’s Puma Kings Cup (January 24/25 and the CSA First Strike Tournament (April 25/26) as 11 v 11 teams.

CSA will host a program in the South area (for Charlotte, Uptown and Matthews players) as well as a program in the North (for North/Huntersville players).

Cost will be $380 per player. Price includes two training sessions per week beginning January 19th through the final event on April 25/26, coaching, coach travel expenses, field usage fee, referee fees, admin fees and entry fees for two tournaments. There are no team fees.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact the DOC!
South Program: Scott Ginn
North Program – Matt Denton

Policy for Player Withdrawal
Individual cancellation requests for the off-season program must be received by email by February 28, 2026. A pro-rated portion of your OSP fees will be credited to your account to be applied on upcoming competitive program fees.

Residential College Showcase Camp

Charlotte Soccer Academy continues our partnership with the soccer program at Wingate University, Wingate International Soccer Academy (WISA) and its College Showcase Camps. The partnership aims to provide CSA players the fantastic opportunity to attend one of the most prestigious college showcases in the country. The Wingate Soccer programs has been voted as one of the top camps in the United States by MLS for over ten years running.  In addition to winning the Men’s NCAA DII National Championship the Fall of 2016, both the men’s and women’s program has won multiple conference championships. Wingate Soccer Camps give players the opportunity to experience life as a collegiate athlete and train under coaches from different universities. 

 “We are excited about our continued partnership with the WISA Collegiate Showcase Camp,” said Brad Wylde, CSA Executive Director. “The partnership adds to our many existing programs that we offer throughout the summer and fits CSA’s philosophy of providing opportunities to our members. These camps provide the player who has the ambition to play at the collegiate level an enormous advantage in the recruitment process.”
