CJSF, Inc. has offered recreational soccer programs for Charlotte children for over 30 years. The recreational program consists of a fall and a spring program. The fall program has over 1400 players while the spring program has over 1000 players. Many of our players have gone on to play soccer in high school, college and beyond.

Our main purpose is to introduce and educate children so they have a lifelong love of the game of soccer. The Division Coordinators put the teams together with the overall aim of balancing teams by age and skill level to provide balanced teams in the division. We organize the teams every fall for the fall season and may hold teams together in some divisions for the spring season. We do not hold entire teams together year after year. We do try to place one buddy per player on each team whenever possible.

In 1994 the CJSF, Inc. entered into a unique public/private cooperative venture with the Parks and Recreation Department of Mecklenburg County to provide funding to assist with the preparation and improvement of designated fields in exchange for priority use. Our financial support to the city has funded the lighting and complete redesign and layout of the fields at Pearl Street, Independence, Latta/Dilworth School, Randolph Road, and Freedom Park. We continue to work with the county by providing field maintenance for all our fields.
