The Catholic Metro Soccer League (CMSL) is a recreational program primarily for Catholic Churches and Schools in the Atlanta area. We strive to have 100% volunteer lead teams. CMSL provides a framework of rules, schedules and officials to coordinate a 1st – 8th grade season in both the Spring and the Fall. We assist the parishes in coordinating their programs and are a member of Catholic Metro Sports of Atlanta. 

CMSL has worked over many years to develop rules that allow children of all skill levels to participate in the church recreational program together. Our primary goal is the safety and happiness of the children. The league provides the rules in order to minimize the disruption of their happiness by actions of the parents. 

This is their game. 

They want to be a part of a team.

They want to play with their friends and represent their school/church. 

They want an opportunity to compete and play on the field. 

They want an environment of compassion and fairness. 

They want their parents to provide positive encouragement.
