SOCCER FIELDS IN COLLEGE STATION
The City of CS and the Local Soccer Clubs divide time for each club to use the city soccer fields. They also have the responsibility of upkeep and safety of our fields. Therefore, it is the city's decision to open and close fields not CSSC. Fields can be closed for rain and/or maintenance. If there is a field closed sign on the field, THE FIELD IS CLOSED. If you choose to have your team out on the closed fields the City may issue you a ticket for $200.00.

In the City of CS we have CSSC, the Adult Soccer Club, Aggieland Soccer Club (competitive) and Brazos Valley Futball Club competitive) using soccer fields. The City of CS's website has a field open/closed status page; however, there are days that other events are scheduled. Do not assume because the City has them showing open that means you can practice at those fields.

Refund Policy
CSSC does not offer any refunds after registration is complete unless a medical excuse is provided.
