WELCOME We are entering our 36th year of hosting the CASL visitRaleigh.com National Soccer Series. Over the years, the tournament has grown from one weekend with a handful of teams to four weekends with 1,350 teams. Teams travelled to our tournaments this year from 34 states and Canada. On behalf of the Capital Area Soccer League (CASL) and our tournament partners, welcome to Raleigh and our tournament. We are excited to give you all a great tournament experience, both and off the field. We have worked hard to make sure our fields are ready. Our partners at the Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau have worked closely with our community to make sure our city is ready to host you. We hope you will take advantage of all that greater Raleigh has to offer including our restaurants, shopping, colleges, entertainment, and everything in between. In the following pages, you will find area maps to help guide you around our city. While you are enjoying our city, be sure to tweet (@CASLnc) us pictures using the hashtags #CASLjrShowcase or #CASLshowcase for a chance to win a $100 gift card from our partners at the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance. When you are not on the field, be sure to stop by and check out our vendor village at WRAL Soccer Park. We will have food, vendors, giveaways, and official tournament merchandise. For the first time ever, we are also offering a regeneration station between games – it’s a free service for your teams to help in their post-game recovery. Thank you, again, for accepting a spot in our tournament series. Your participation allows us to continue offering elite youth tournaments and one of the most well attended showcases in the country. Please be safe and respectful to your teammates, opponents, referees, coaches, and our city. Have a great time and good luck!
