CESA and CRSA Form Exclusive Partnership

CESA (Carolina Elite Soccer Academy) and CRSA (Congaree Rapid Soccer Association) today announced the formation of an exclusive partnership in which both soccer clubs will work together to increase opportunities for Columbia-area youth soccer players. The two clubs will share resources, professional expertise, tactics, and strategies for increasing the penetration of soccer in underserved and urban markets while maintaining an overall focus on improving soccer opportunities for all players.


CRSA has consistently demonstrated that it is one of the best soccer clubs in the state in terms of both player development and in reaching out to kids that might not otherwise have a chance to play soccer.


“CESA has had enormous success since its inception; not just in terms of state championships but in terms of innovative programs aimed at increasing the level of services it offers to South Carolina youth soccer players,” said Kevin Heise, director of coaches at CRSA. “We’re pleased to be working closely with them to continue increasing the level of services to players and to get new players involved in soccer as well,” Heise added.


CESA and CRSA are programs with a proven commitment to youth soccer. This exclusive partnership will enhance the level of service that each club can provide and will give families access to the necessary tools needed to help players reach their potential.
