Mission Statement
To ensure that all boys and girls of all ages and abilities have equal access to the game of soccer.

To become the soccer club of choice for players of all levels and abilities. To develop and support a life long love for the game.
About This Cause
CSWU began in 2003 as a result of communities in South West Calgary forming a cooperative to provide a more comprehensive soccer program and improve the development opportunities for their players. From the beginning, our focus has been player development first with a strong focus on individual technical skills. We offer programs ranging from U3 – U19 youth, and have affiliated with adult teams as well for a cradle to grave soccer experience. OUR VALUES • We believe that the development of both male and female players is equally important. • We believe that financial, social and cultural barriers should never stand in the way of player development. As an outcome, we are committed to working with families to remove these barriers. • We believe that although team success is important, individual development of young athletes both on and off the field is the most valuable take away for all of our players. • We respect and appreciate the dedication of all age groups and divisions equally. • We believe in and promote a highly technical “possession” style of play, which has been the hallmark of our top teams. We wish for all teams and all players at all levels within CSWU to play this style of soccer. OUR PRACTICES • We create opportunities for players to continue soccer at the Men’s, Women’s, Collegiate, University and Professional levels. We work with other Clubs and organizations in Calgary and elsewhere, where appropriate, to advance individual and team development. • We endeavor to promote a culture at CSWU where all players, parents and coaches believe that Club comes first – players play for the Club and on a team. We additionally endeavor to provide a variety of programming suitable for all players. • Our player development process includes transparent practices which promote the inclusion of feedback from trainers, coaches and players.
