CASL Play 4Kay 4v4 Registration is Open

Register your 4v4 team HERE!

As you probably know, the CASL Play 4Kay 4v4 soccer event is set for January 11. 100% of proceeds from this event will benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund®. Now, we need your help to form youth and adult co-ed teams and help us support the Kay Yow Cancer Fund's ® vision of ending all women's cancers. I'd like to give a special shout out to the U13 WolfPack girls (pictured below) who were one of the first teams to sign up and support the CASL Play 4Kay 4v4. I've heard through the grapevine this team is using our event as a warm-up to the Disney 3v3 Soccer Championships taking place the next weekend in January. 

I've also heard from many other coaches who have said their teams will be signing up. Even parents of players are reaching out to the adult networks and putting together an adult co-ed team to participate and support this effort. The CASL Play4Kay is open to youth in U8-U18 and adult co-ed. The cost is only $180/team, and with a roster size of 8, that amounts to about $20/player that will support research and programs related to extending and improving the life of those affected by cancer. 

Please reach out to your teammates, high school friends, friends who play at other clubs, neighborhood friends, supper clubs, book clubs, or whatever other networks you are in, and recruit 8 friends who will help us not only to remember the late, great Coach Kay Yow, but also to celebrate and support the legacy she leaves behind in the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. 

Stay tuned for more details about special event logistics to be carried out during the CASL Play 4Kay 4v4.

CASL to Represent at ACC Women's Championships

This year's ACC Women's Soccer Championship will not only feature four of the top five women's college teams in the nation, but also it will feature NINE (9) former CASL players on one of the biggest stages in women's soccer. WakeMed Soccer Park is ready for fans to arrive. I was out there yesterday dropping off the game balls, and snapped this pic (below) at the main gate.

During the first game tonight (kick-off is at 5:30pm), Virginia rivals University of Virginia and Virginia Tech will go head-to-head in this semi-final match-up. The #1 Virginia Cavaliers are ranked in the conference top seed going into the semi-finals, and will be playing for a back-to-back title. If you come to the game tonight, be sure to keep an eye out for former CASL ECNL player, Alexis Shaffer #8. She's played in 18 games so far this season for the Cavaliers, tallying 3 goals and 6 assists for 12 points on the season. The Virginia Tech Hokies will be trying to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to the Cavaliers during the last regular season game of the season. Former CASL ECNL players Sydney Curtis and Bria Dixon will be on the other side of this game wearing Hokies' jerseys. 

In the second match-up of the night (kick-off is at 8pm), UNC Chapel Hill will take on the Seminoles from Florida State. This will be a lop-sided match-up as far as CASL representation is concerned. Five former CASL ECNL players will be there tonight representing the Tar Heels and fighting for a chance to reclaim the conference title. Joanna Boyles #10, Maya Worth #5, Cameron Castleberry #21, Caroline Lindquist #26, and Hanna Gardner #71 will all be coming back "home" tonight. Castleberry has played in 20 games this season (1g, 1a), Lindquist has seen minutes in 16 games (1g, 1a), while Boyles has seen action in 18 games (1g).
