The Capital Area Soccer League (CASL) is an American soccer club and eponymous league based in Raleigh, North Carolina and serving greater Wake County, North Carolina.
CASL was founded in 1974 as a not-for-profit organization and provides recreational and competitive programs for youth in greater Wake County, North Carolina. CASL offers teams in all divisions of North Carolina youth soccer including "classic" (first tier competitive teams statewide), "challenge" (second tier competitive teams locally), and recreational soccer. CASL "classic" teams compete at the highest level of competition in the nation including Elite Clubs National League, Region III Premier League, and USSF Development Academy in partnership with the Carolina Railhawks. They utilize venues throughout the area including WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, and the WRAL Soccer Center in Raleigh. CASL sends many players on to play collegiately each year, including NCAA Division I and local NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III schools. CASL previously operated a USL Premier Development League team, known as the Raleigh CASL Elite.
On March 10th, 2017, North Carolina FC announced that it would be merging CASL and TFC Alliance, two of the largest youth clubs in the Raleigh area, and they would be become part of the NCFC family as North Carolina FC Youth soccer.
In addition to recreational divisions which include only club teams, CASL serves as a league organizer for competitive leagues in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina.
