The Christian Athletic League of America (CALA) is dedicated to providing young men, especially those who are home-schooled or from small schools, with the opportunity to play high school football. CALA emphasizes clean, hard-hitting football with a focus on faith. The league aims to mentor and train young Christian men using football as a tool to prepare them for adult life. CALA's mission is to create a Godly environment for football, promoting values like serving, honoring, and leading.

CALA was established to address the challenges faced by smaller schools and homeschooled students who lacked opportunities to participate in high school football. Recognizing the need for a supportive and faith-filled environment, CALA was created to provide these young men with the chance to play football while fostering their growth in faith, character, and sportsmanship. Through prayer and collaboration, the league has become a platform for mentoring and training young athletes for life beyond the game
