Local soccer association boss Carlo Bruneau focused on growing game in city yyc
Exercising while having fun for more than 25,000 players in 1,600 teams — plus more than 3,000 volunteers — takes a lot of organizing. Bruneau and his full-time staff of 12 — plus summer students — schedule league games, host post-season play and tournaments, and provide coaching and referee mentorship and support.
An average of 200 games each day takes a lot of co-ordination, but then weather problems — and possibly wildfire smoke — causes cancellations and scheduling starts all over again. Participants do pay a club registration fee, which is divided to support Canadian, Alberta and Calgary organizations as well as the host team. One of Bruneau’s responsibilities is to fundraise, and he is most appreciative of support from companies such as Servus Credit Union, Shane Homes, Tim Hortons and South Centre Volkswagen, which recently partnered with CMSA in providing it with a Volkswagen Atlas Community Cruiser.
