CSC Pride Soccer Program

Why Play for CSC Pride?

Columbia Pride offers access to the most accomplished staff in Mid-Missouri, with the majority of our coaches being former collegiate athletes and/or current collegiate coaches.  As a non-profit organization, the Club offers affordable fees and a private training facility- Pride Park.

 Pride Park consists of approximately 50 acres and has an estimated commercial value of approximately $7 million.  The Club currently has 5 fields developed (3 with lights) and plans to add 4 more fields by 2015.

The Club is dedicated to building soccer at all levels and is comprised of a Board of Directors who provide oversight and management of the Club.  The Board ensures greater accountability for coaches, players and parents.
