"our children" of Closter. The association exists as an

Ways in which this is accomplished: Fostering
individual and family participation in Closter recreation

common purpose among recreation coaches by providing them
with support networks, channels of communication,
educational tools and instruction so that their efforts on
behalf of the children are mutually rewarding, satisfying
and successful. Facilitating and fostering a positive
working alliance among parents/guardians and recreation
coaches to ensure the recreational experience of Closter
children will enhance their growth, development and
enthusiasm for sports. Providing recommendations and
support to the Closter Recreation Commission and
Recreation/Parks Director to improve the recreational
experience of Closter youth.

This is the organization’s sole agenda. The CCA does
not specifically endorse any one candidate running for
public office. Strict adherence to this policy is part of
the foundation of our organization. Politically motivated
intentions have no place on a field or court for kids. We
should let them play and not allow them to be used in a
political strategy. As for the CCA organizational email
contact list, this list is never distributed or used for
political messages. All authorized messages are carefully
drafted so as not to include identifiable recipient’s
email addresses.
