Elite Soccer League is CFA Orange County’s recreational program. When your player is ready for more training and tougher games, CFA club soccer is where they go next.

Elite and CFA are part of the same club. Many CFA players started in Elite, and several of our coaches did too. Moving up means more training, tougher competition and a clear pathway as your player grows.
