Rec Program Update
Our summer recreational program reached new heights with nearly a record level of registrations. We are grateful for the coaches, referees, parents, players, and donors who make this the best youth recreational sports program in Alaska.
The summer recreational league runs through August 19 and will culminate in a tournament presented by our generous partners at Kendall Volkswagen of Anchorage.
Summer Rec Camp
CISC Staff Coach Cat Jorgenson directed the first full-day recreational camp since COVID put everything on pause in 2020. The camp ran July 19-22 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Anchorage Gardens. Stay tuned for next summer’s camp dates and other opportunities.
If you are interested in becoming involved with the recreational program, email daniel@ciscsoccer.org. We are always on the lookout for coaches and referees.
