CASL U11’s 2013-2014
As many of you are now aware we have moved in the direction of creating a true regional program for our U11’s for the 2013-2014 season. This is an extension of what will occur with the newly formed Capital Area Youth Academy (CAYA). For information on CAYA please go to www.caslnc.com. We are continually evaluating our programs and in doing so felt it was important to create a North and South Division for our rising U11’s for the 2013-2014 season. So the question most families are asking is “What does this actually mean?” Please see the list of bullet points below that will serve to answer many of the questions you may have.
• When registering for tryouts you must select a region (North or South). Choosing your region is based on where you live. Any instance of a family registering outside of their region will be assessed by the staff. The staff will determine on a case by case basis if playing outside of your region is something that will be permitted.
• Tryouts will take place at WRAL. Please go to www.caslnc.com for dates and times.
• We do anticipate 3 teams being formed in each region for a total of 6 boys’ teams and 6 girls’ teams. A decision on the exact number of teams will made during tryout phase based on the evaluation process and the quality of the overall player pool.
• Once teams are formed, CASL will determine which divisions within NCYSA teams will play.
• At this point no decision has been made as to whether CASL will have U11 teams play up at U12.
• Teams will train 3x per week. The assigned training nights for our U11 Program will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in their respective regions.
• All training sessions will take place from 4.30-6.00pm.
• CASL North teams will train at WRAL and CASL South teams will train at location that is currently TBA. We are looking at various options in the Cary Area.
• If training is canceled for CASL South due to field conditions, CASL South teams will be invited to join CASL North training session (assuming North session is not canceled also).
• Teams will train in their region twice a week and the third day all players will train together alternating weekly between the north and south. A calendar will be created so families will know when they are training outside of their region. Players will train outside of their region essentially twice a month.
• Per the above scenario players in our U11 program will train together 4x per month. This is important for a variety of different reasons as it will bring our staff and players together. This training session will be tiered.
• Home games for CASL teams will be WRAL.
