What should you expect from CityLight Sports?
- Our soccer league is coached and run almost entirely by volunteers who give their time because they care about the children on each team.
- Games and practices will happen during your scheduled 90 minute time slot. There will no longer be practices on weekdays making the league more accessible to people with busy schedules.
- We will do our part to keep your child safe. Two important safety measures we have put in place are that all coaches must pass a background check and are also required to complete a sexual abuse awareness training.
- Your family will be invited to different events happening at Walnut Creek Church throughout the season. For those without a church home, we would love for you to join us for a weekend service on a Saturday or Sunday!
- To end the season, we will have a fun and engaging closing celebration.
- Come be a part of this growing, positive, and fun sports league!
