The Catoosa Soccer Association was formed in 1988 to bring recreational soccer into the Catoosa community so children did not have to leave Catoosa to play soccer. From this small beginning, Catoosa Soccer Association has grown into a well-established club whose mission it is to develop highly skilled players who can continue to enjoy the sport of soccer year after year in either a recreational or competitive program.

In a broader context, Catoosa Soccer Association's teams are a collection of kids that proudly represent many area communities in a manner that serves to spread goodwill where ever they compete. Their skills, style of play and sportsmanlike conduct, have become a team trademark and an exemplary standard for other teams to pursue.  Players within the Catoosa Soccer Association live in various areas, including: Catoosa, Verdigris, Claremore, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Tulsa, etc.

• To promote an organized soccer program in the Catoosa community that can help children develop their physical, mental, and social skills and abilities, while they have fun learning life skills such as teamwork, self confidence, respect, and cooperation.
