CASL Shootout accepted 175 out of 600 teams at the U15-U19 age groups for girls. The boy's numbers were not far behind. That leaves a lot of teams with no tournament play between WAGS and Disney.
The Norcross Nike Cup tournament committee is hard at work to provide a viable alternative for all those teams not accepted into the CASL Shootout. They are expanding the upper age groups to accommodate U17-U19 teams wishing to showcase their skills before an ever-growing list of college coaches. Last year's tournament hosted over 75 college coaches from many DII & DIII schools. Several top club coaches are already working together and assisting us by encouraging college coaches to attend this local event rather than CASL. Early indications are that interest is high with some DI coaches now entertaining the idea of attending the Norcross Nike Cup.
All U19's will play at Pickneyville Park.
Get your applications in early. Look for updates to the tournament website in the coming days.

This is just what we were looking for. I thought it was a given we would get into Raleigh but when they only take one team from GA, kinda makes it tough.
