| U-13 CASL Rockets Girls: Singer Challenge Cup Champions! |
This has been a successful year for CASL teams across all divisions of play. The U-13 CASL Rockets Girls and the U14 Girls Cyclones took home the their age group's Singer Challenge Cup in May. In that same month, the U-13 CASL Azul Girls took first place in the Seaside Soccer Classic Tournament, while the U14 CASL Fusion boys won the bronze division. There were many more team accomplishments this spring that I'm not aware of just yet, so please feel free to post your team's successes below so your team can be recognized.
Now it's time for our ECNL, Elite, and Academy teams to have their turn to compete for a title. The U15 and U17 ECNL ladies' teams will be competing this weekend for the opportunity to compete in Nationals that will take place in July in Richmond, VA. They will be heading to Colorado for the playoffs. The U18 ECNL ladies' team will actually be competing this weekend for the National Title. They will be taking on the Michigan Hawks ECNL on Friday for the chance to go on to the quarterfinals on Saturday and the championship on Sunday.

The U18 '94 CASL Elite ladies will also be heading off to Edmond, Oklahoma to compete in the USYSA Region III Championships. They will be taking on teams from South Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana in their immediate bracket. Edmond, Oklahoma has been a successful destination for CASL teams in the past, at least for one team that I know of (see picture - it's not quite "throw back
Thursday" yet, but I wanted to include it - working at CASL has sure made me reminisce a lot about playing). It was actually 14 years ago (wow!) that the '84 CASL Elite girls (my team growing up) came away with the Region III championship in Edmond, Oklahoma. We were U15 at the time, and back then, the chance to compete for Nationals was only an option once you hit U16, so we never got that chance. But, hopefully, the '94 CASL Elite ladies will get this chance! Good luck in Edmond!
Finally, the CASL's Academy teams will be heading to Frisco, Texas for the U.S. Soccer Development Academy playoffs. CASL's U17/18 playoff group includes Real Salt Lake AZ, DC United, and St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri. The U15/16 playoff group for CASL's Academy team includes Baltimore Bays Chelsea, Colorado Rapids, and Revolution Empire. Both teams are playing for the opportunity to compete for the National Championship. Good luck to all of our teams heading off for competition!
