CSA Family, we had a great initial meeting last month to discuss the future of CSA. We will have a follow up meeting this Wednesday, September 6 at 6:30 pm at the Comeaux Rec Center. If you or someone you know wants to get involved and have ideas, please come Wednesday to share your comments and hear what the plans are for CSA. Hope to see you then.

8-15-23
𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘!! The meeting date had to be changed to Wednesday, August 23 due to a scheduling conflict. It will still be held at the Comeaux Rec Center at 6:30pm.

𝗖𝗦𝗔 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣!
CSA is currently going through a transition and is looking for dedicated volunteers to be active and involved in the future of CSA. For quite some time there have only been three Board Members running all CSA Programs. All the current board members have volunteered for over 10 years and their kids are no longer participants in CSA Sports. These Board members will all be stepping down at the end of September of 2023 and are looking for new parents to get involved to help guide the future of CSA. We will be holding a public meeting Tuesday, August 22 for the CSA community to come together to share their comments on how to help CSA thrive moving. Volunteers are what have made CSA successful over the years and we need your help. We will be electing a new President, Vice President, Secretary/ Treasurer and other elected Board Members at this meeting. We hope to have a large turnout and really need the community to step up so we can enhance the programs at CSA and keep many of our sports in-house. If we don’t get enough turnout to elect a new board, we will have no other choice than to turn the park activities over to the city and all CSA leagues will be run through Lafayette Parks and Recreation. The current Board members will stay involved to help the new board transition and help teach them what is involved with running CSA. The meeting will be held at the Comeaux Rec Center at 6:30pm on (Wednesday, August 23). Parents can just show up at the meeting but if you know you are interested or have any questions, please email all the current members at the emails below. In conclusion, CSA still has a lot of potential to grow but can only be accomplished with the help of parents and volunteers. We look forward to seeing you August 23.

2023 CSA Basketball Participants:

We are looking forward to another exciting season of CSA Basketball!  This year Lafayette Parks and Recreation has partnered with the Jr. NBA - Pelicans for Basketball this year. Evaluations for ages 7-14 will take place next week on December 12th, December 13, and December 15th at the Comeaux Recreation Center, located at 411 W. Bluebird St. Lafayette, LA 70508.  The detailed schedule is below.  5/6 Boys and Girls age group does not have to do evaluations.  Please see below for information about the Girls' Leagues.  We are in need of coaches in every age group.  Rec leagues only works when we have enough volunteers so PLEASE consider being a Head Coach.  If you did not sign up to be a coach and are interested in coaching, please email or call me at 337-412-4947.  We have enough players to have over 35 total teams and want to keep the rosters small so all of our players can maximize playing time.
Evaluation Schedule: 
Monday December 12th- 7/8 Boys Player Evaluations
7-year-old Boys - 6:30 PM (Please arrive 15 minutes early to check-in.)
8-year-old Boys -7:30 PM (Please arrive 15 minutes early to check-in.)

Tuesday December 13th- 9/10 Boys Player Evaluations
9-year-old Boys -6:30 PM (Please arrive 15 minutes early to check-in.)

Players that do not need to come to evaluations:
All 5/6-year-old league players (Boys and Girls)
7/8 Girls league players (We currently have enough for one Girls team, which would play in the Parish League against other parks.)
15/16 Boys league players  ((We currently are a few players short of having one team.  If a few more register, then this team would play in the Parish League against other parks.)
***Note***  We currently do not have enough players to form a team in the 9/10 Girls League or the 11/12 Girls league.  If these young ladies are interested in playing in the boys' league, then please see the evaluation schedule above and report for your scheduled time.
We are a little shorthanded staff wise, so any parent that can help with player check-in, organization, set up, and pick up, please let me know.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to contact me by email (justin_gibbs63@yahoo.com) or the number above.

Registration for CSA Spring 2023 Basketball is NOW OPEN.  Click above to Register.

Basketball registration is $100.00.  A late fee of $25.00 will be added to anyone who registers after December 5th.

Lafayette Parks and Recreation has partnered with the Jr. NBA for Basketball this year.

Due to an upcharge and upgrade to the Jr. NBA uniform jerseys, the referees and security required by the Parish, we will collect an entry fee at each game of $3.00 for adults and $1.00 for kids to cover the cost.  There will be a cap of $10.00 per game for families.

Evaluations will occur the week of December 12.  Stay tuned for more details.

The season will start around the second week of January.

If we have enough teams to play an age group in-house, all games will be played at the Comeaux Rec Center.  Otherwise, that age group will play Parish League and games would be played at different gyms across Lafayette.  Practices will generally take place at the Comeaux Rec Center.

We will post more information, as we receive it, to our website and Facebook page.

Thank you for considering Basketball at CSA.

Registration for our spring flag football season is now open. The spring season will be from 4/2/2021 to 6/11/2021. Once you select our area and the spring season, it will show you 3 different league options. Recreational Flag will be comparable to a normal flag league. It will be for all ages and skill levels. 7 on 7 is a league that focuses on the passing game. It's fast paced and designed for skill players. If you have played football before it's like competitive pass scale. Flex Football a limited contact but non-tackle league that helps prepare players for tackle. This is a good league for parents whose child wants to play tackle, but you are not sure they are ready. It focuses on skill development and fundamentals. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call. You can register at www.gridironfb.com

The kids can report in t-shirt, shorts, and cleats or tennis shoes, along with something to drink.

If anyone is interested in coaching and I have not spoken to you already, then you can give me a call or just show up Wednesday and we will steer you in the proper direction. Conditioning for tackle football is mandatory before we are allowed to practice in pads. If we have to cancel due to weather then conditioning will be extended starting with September 14th. If anyone has to miss a conditioning practice, then it must be made up before the player will be allowed to practice with pads on. Due to COVID-19 if anyone is feeling under the weather or begins to show symptoms of COVID, please let me know or their coach know, so we can take the proper procedures to protect our other players and coaches.

Baseball Spring Training has been cancelled for this afternoon. (Saturday, March 14, 2020)

 

Updated 3-14-2020

CSA Family.....

Lafayette Parks and Recreation has extended registration Parish wide for baseball and softball until March 20, 2020. With that being said our evaluations will be pushed back to accommodate this extension. We are currently reviewing dates and times for park availability to determine the dates for evaluations. Once we have that finalized we will send out correspondence informing everyone. We will provide updates via Facebook, Teamsnap and the csalaf.com website. If you know anyone that is interested in playing baseball or softball, please tell them to register on our website. We thank you for choosing CSA and look forward to a great season!

NOTE:  We have not received any official announcements from the Lafayette Parks and Recreation regarding postponing or cancelling of the baseball season.  As soon as we receive word from the Parish, we will forward the information.

Sincerely,

CSA Board

 

 

UPDATED CSA BASEBALL INFORMATION:

Baseball Evaluations will be pushed back to 3/16 - 3/18. More details to follow.

Spring training will be extended to include two more sessions: 3/11 from 6-8 and 3/14 from 2-5.

 

CSA BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE MARCH 8, 2020.

Register now to avoid the $25.00 Late Fee.

 

Dear CSA Families,

I have some exciting news for all REGISTERED CSA Baseball participants: CSA Spring Training is coming soon! 

What is it?  An opportunity to get up to 12 hours of organized practice time spread out over two weeks before tryouts!

Who’s invited?  All players REGISTERED with CSA baseball for the spring 2020 season.

What’s the cost?  Zero dollars.  Only whatever time you can invest.  No additional cost beyond registration.

Where?  All Spring Training practices will be held on the various fields at Beaullieu Park (CSA home park)

When?  Barring weather, there will be six sessions as follows:

  • Wed 2/26 – 6:00 – 8:00
  • Fri 2/28 – 6:00 – 8:00
  • Sat 2/29 – 2:00 – 5:00
  • Tue 3/3 – 6:00 – 8:00
  • Thu 3/5 – 6:00 – 8:00
  • Sat 3/7 – 2:00 – 5:00

Why?  Early season practice reps help for a variety of reasons.  For kids who haven’t played baseball since last spring, the chance to re-acclimate to the game before showing up for tryouts will boost their confidence and allow them to perform their best at tryouts which should allow coaches to make more informed decisions at the draft.  Better prepared players and better drafted teams will enhance the baseball season experience for everyone, which is the ultimate goal.

I hope you’ll consider sending your ballplayer to CSA Spring Training as much as possible over the next couple of weeks as we begin to lay the foundation for a great baseball season at CSA.

Sincerely,

Yogi Barras

CSA Baseball Commissioner

INFORMATION FOR OUR 2020 SPRING BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL SEASON

A message from our Baseball Commissioner:

Parents-
My name is Yogi Barras and I’m fairly new to the CSA Board and brand new to the position of Baseball Commissioner for CSA. But I’ve been around and involved at CSA as a parent and Coach long enough to understand the challenge you face as a parent making the choice to participate at CSA for baseball instead of the other local options.
There’s no denying the appeal of the facilities upgrade available at Youngsville Sports Complex or St. Julien, yet I and many others take pride in continuing to invest our energy and time at CSA for one reason: I believe in the importance of truly recreational sports for children. Rec sports should be the safe space where kids can learn age appropriate life lessons in the context of fun competition…and I hope you’ll make the choice to let your child be a part of that at CSA.
Of course, part of the fun of sports is competing, and winners should be rewarded ultimately, but children deserve a place where they don’t have to make the team or worry about whether they’ll get a chance to play for their team. Life will afford plenty other chances for them to learn that their worth is based on how well they perform…at CSA we have a chance to show them they are worth the investment of our time and energy simply because they are our children.
Now I’ve also been around CSA long enough to recognize a couple other things: first, there is much room for improvement, and second, that ground can only be made up by enlisting far more of the talent of willing parents than we have in the past. Parents who may not be ready to coach a team but are quite able to help in other ways. We need you. We need your ideas. We need your enthusiasm. We need your energy. And more than ever, I hope to make it easier for you to know how, when, and where you can be a help to not only sustaining, but growing CSA into the future.
I can’t wait for another season of CSA baseball, and I hope you’re excited as well. Registration is now open, and some exciting changes are being planned to make this year the best ever at CSA. Stay tuned for exciting announcements and contact me at csalafbaseball@gmail.com to find out how you can be a part of the great organization!

Volunteers & Sponsorships:

Our Volunteers and Sponsors are what makes CSA successful. We are a non-profit organization and want to offer the best experience for your children. Our Volunteers are what drives our mission and our Sponsors help fund the necessities to succeed, such as referees, umpires, park maintenance and much more. We will send out more information on new Sponsorship Opportunities.
