CUSA Recreational is an efficient, well run, all volunteer run organization. We're also accountable! Each year we try very hard to balance the needs of the club with the community. Over the past three years, the Rec program has donated over $75,000 to the parks department to create and maintain soccer playing areas in Centerville. You can even read our annual highlights here (Warning, this is a LARGE file) Even so, we continue to need volunteers to help organize, run and plan for every season. You can volunteer as much or as little as you wish! Fill out the Volunteer Information Sheet and a Board member will contact you.
