PLAYER ELIGIBILITY:
The Capital Area Soccer League prohibits players from participating with other clubs while registered to a CASL Challenge team. Players registered to a challenge team may only practice with their team. No players from other divisions may practice with a challenge team unless granted permission by the CASL Challenge DOC or Chairman.
ORGANIZATION:
The Capital Area Soccer League (CASL) is a 501 (C) 3 non-profit organization founded to promote and administer the operation of a participation soccer league in Wake County and surrounding areas. CASL is run by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by each team’s representative and assisted by paid staff employees.
INSURANCE:
Youth players, coaches, and assistant coaches are covered by accident insurance during each season at scheduled practices and games. A deductible and policy limits apply. The policy is secondary to insurance maintained by parents, employers, etc.
EQUIPMENT:
It is MANDATORY per CASL Rules for all players to wear shin guards.
REGISTRATION:
Veteran Challenge players, in order to remain on their same teams, must complete registration and payment by November 27th.
CASL OFFICE HOURS:
CASL Office Hours are posted on the CASL website www.caslnc.com. CASL office is closed on Wednesdays and hours vary on other days depending on the time of year. Please check the CASL website for office hours if planning to visit the office.
CASL SCHEDULING LEAGUE:
CASL registered teams are scheduled four home games per team in their home areas (Raleigh, Wake Forest, Cary/Apex, Garner). Occasionally, a team not registered with CASL will be accepted into the CASL Scheduling League. These scheduling league teams also get four home games if they choose to play on their own club’s fields which are usually outside of Wake County. This means CASL registered teams may have to travel out of Wake County just as scheduling league teams will have to travel out of their home county.
