- Parents must complete the appropriate medical waiver form for your team either the US Club Waiver form or the NCYSA waiver form. Links to these medical waivers can be found under the CAYA Documents section of the blog. Your coach (or manager) should know which waiver needs to be completed for your team. If you have any questions and are not sure which form you should complete, please contact your coach or regional director.
- CAYA players will be wearing a new training shirt this year which will require each player to purchase new training shirts. The order form for training shirts will be posted under the CAYA Documents section this week. All training shirt orders must go to your team manager with payment. The team manager will collect all player orders and payment. Once all orders have been collected, the team manager will take the team's order and one consolidated payment to the CASL office for fulfillment.
- CAYA team training will be Mondays and Thursdays. All North teams will train at WRAL on both days. All South teams will train at Green Hope ES on Mondays and Thomas Brooks Park on Thursdays. All U9s will train from 5:00pm-6:30pm and all U10s will train from 6:30pm-8:00pm.
- During the weeks of pre-season camp, CAYA teams will only train on Thursdays (August 7th and August 14th). Beginning Monday, August 18th, teams will begin training twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays.
- The first games for the CAYA season will begin the weekend of September 6th and 7th.
- CAYA teams participating in the North Carolina Champions League (NCCL) will play on Sunday afternoons with possible game start times of 1:00pm, 2:30pm, 4:00pm, and 5:30pm. U10 CAYA teams participating in the Academy program will play on Saturdays. Your coach will know which league your team will be participating in.
