Free Food, Discounts, and More!

On snow days, I think we all sometimes look for a little distraction. Today, hopefully I'll share a beneficial distraction with you. I wrote earlier this month about the spring virtual discount/promotion bag we put together for our CASL families. We offered the opportunity for our sponsors and local community supporters to put together digital promotions, and we put them all into our "virtual event bag". 
A Sneak Peak into the Virtual Bag

We wanted to test it out this spring. If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to take a look into the bag. The companies that have put something into the bag are all financial supporters of CASL. In turn, their support (whether it's through a field sponsorship, jersey sponsorship, tournament sponsorship, or other sponsorship) helps us maintain and improve our services to our players, coaches, and families. 

Sometimes you might play on Dick's Sporting Goods field or notice the SportClips logo on the back of your kid's jersey and wonder why they are there. They are there because they believe in what we do at CASL and in the positive influence a youth soccer experience can have on all of your children and the community. I am fortunate to work with these companies on a day-to-day basis, and it's truly rewarding to witness their corporate generosity. With that in mind, if you ever get the chance to return the support of these (and all of our generous sponsors), I encourage you to do so. 

Below is a list of all the companies and highlights of the promotion/deal they are offering CASL families in the Virtual Bag. Don't be alarmed if you are prompted to "sign in" to the platform - this just allows us to maximize the benefits of the platform and track the activity on the page so we can be more informed moving forward.
