California Athletic Soccer Club was recently featured in the Crescenta Valley Weekly, highlighting what makes the club special – not just developing soccer players; but building a community one goal at a time. The article beautifully captured how CASC connections extend beyond the field, intertwining with daily life in local neighborhoods. There’s something special about team families running into each other at the Montrose Arts Fair or Octoberfest that reinforces what the club has always believed: at CASC, “family” isn’t just a cliché – it’s their reality. CASC has fostered the same approach for its San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valley teams.
The CV Weekly feature emphasized CASC’s unique approach to player development, showcasing how coaches like LA Galaxy champion Sean Franklin, Armenian National team player Sydney Vermillion, and Felipe Rodriguez who played at Belgium’s Standard Liège, provide top-notch coaching while maintaining the community-centered philosophy that has defined the club throughout its years at Crescenta Valley High School, where they’ve played and practiced for almost 25 years. This blend of local insight and professional experience sets CASC apart in Southern California’s competitive youth soccer landscape. With the 2026 World Cup approaching and soccer’s popularity surging across the United States, CASC continues to offer a supportive pathway to success where individual development is balanced with opportunities to reach the highest levels of soccer.
