Hello, the Community Alliance for Progressive Education (CAPE) is a local, innovative education non-profit offering diverse programs for families and students.
We are excited to announce that we are starting an indoor soccer program in spring 2023 for players of all ages!
CAPE is working with Houghton Football Club(HFC) and Copper Country Soccer Association(CCSA) to coordinate our program.
Program Planning and Overview
Goals of the program:
- Provide opportunities for local soccer players to grow and develop skills in soccer.
- Provide information and execution on proper athletic conditioning in fun and engaging ways.
- Give soccer players a chance to be ready for spring outdoor soccer season.
- Bring soccer players from across the community together for fun and skill development.
- Provide local soccer coaches and college and high school players ways to get involved in community soccer.
- Develop crew of referees and coaches who can continue with outdoor soccer season.
CAPE has recruited Coaches and Trainers with years of experience in youth sports development and conditioning and some of the coaching staff we were able to recruit from Michigan Technological University and Finlandia University team players.
