Between 1997 and 2018, the Antes Columbus Youth Football Club (ACYFC), founded through a partnership between CCSCLA and Los Angeles Metropolitan Churches (LMC), building a bridge between the Latino and African American residents using the game of soccer, which both groups already participated in.

ACYFC provided entrepreneurial training in sports-related businesses, including venue management, broadcast recording and editing, concessions management, referee training, league administration, and manufacturing retail uniforms.

To further the goals of ACYFC, CCSCLA developed two synthetic soccer fields for play in the Vernon Central community. In 2002 CCSCLA helped facilitate the Nike donation of a synthetic field to Ross Snyder Park and facilitated the collection of resources to develop a field at George Washington Carver Middle School. ACYFC served more than 2000 families during its operations.
