CSA Launches Two New Educational Booklets
Posted on 9 November 2004 in Grassroots initiatives

Both are now available in English and French and are designed for coaches, players, referees and parents who are involved in the development of the game below the age of 12. The CSA recognizes the ever increasing need for improved services to the players, coaches, and referees at this level as it makes up close to 64 % of our membership.
