Adopt-A-Team (soccer/group of volunteers)

This is a great opportunity for a small group of friends to support CCA players on a rotating basis during spring and/or fall seasons (average 10 games, 1 ½ hrs each + 1-2 tournaments). 

  1. Purchase snacks/drinks** for game days (most Saturdays March-May [spring season] or Sept-Nov [fall season]) **suggested list provided upon request
  2. Make a “GO CCA” sign to bring to game days and find out if the team will be wearing “home” or “away” jerseys and match the color of your t-shirt.
  3. Pray for the players and coaches by name
  4. Divide up your small group to have representation at the games to bring the snacks, drinks, and cheer (a list of players’ names and jersey numbers will be provided)

[Suggested] $500 donation toward the team kits (jerseys/socks/shorts) that are an expense for CCA (Donate Here)

Game schedule* can be found HERE (*subject to change) 

A volunteer orientation, led by CCA staff, covering refugee resettlement and cross-cultural training is optional for the group.
