"We believe the affiliation will generate excitement for girls soccer in the CESA community. Several Columbus Eagles players have already coached in our CESA Tiny Tots and Prep Academy programs. I look forward to working with the Eagles staff to develop a relationship that will allow for both our girls and boys to have local women soccer players to look up to," says Benjamin Levey, Director of CESA.
The Youth Affiliate Program is set up for Columbus Eagles to support and provide resources for local teams and to connect CESA's players and parents with the Eagles. Additionally, the Eagles hope to empower local girls and boys to grow as people and talented soccer players. |

The CESA Under-7 & Under-8 Prep Academy is an add-on to the CESA Recreational U7 & U8 programs. The Prep Academy, run by Columbus East FC coaches, is a youth soccer development program for more serious CESA players. Participants will be provided with an additional one-hour practice session on Monday evenings at CESA Easton Fields, several scrimmages, a home and away practice jersey, shorts, and socks. They will be expected to wear their CESA soccer uniform for each practice session, and also for scrimmages (4-6 potential games) that will be set up with other teams/clubs throughout the season. Prep Academy players will still be expected to join their CESA recreational team for practice during the week and league game every weekend.
Club soccer commences at the Under-9 level. This program helps those pre-club age players who are interested in bridging the move more effectively from recreational soccer to club level. CESA Prep Academy's mission is to develop creative, skillful, technically sound, adaptable soccer players who understand, love and appreciate the game. Columbus East FC emphasizes a player development coaching model. For more information contact Ben Levey (ben@columbuseastfc.org) |
