Dear Parents and Players,
Thank you for your interest in the Clemson Anderson Soccer Alliance. We were truly impressed by the effort that the players displayed on the field throughout the tryout process from both a skill and athleticism standpoint, but also from a sportsmanship perspective as we continue to welcome new players to our club. It makes our job more difficult, but as some might say "... it is a good problem ..." to have. Simply put, well done players—we are very proud of each one of you.
Below are the links to the tryout results as well as key information about our fees, how to accept your team assignment, and making initial payments.
Please email CASA@ClemsonAndersonSoccer.com if you have questions on how to use the web-based registration. Please direct all other questions to us. Click here if you are already to accept your position, and make initial payments.
Team meetings are next week, June 2, 3 and 4 as listed below. Please plan to attend. This will give you a chance to meet your soccer family and take care of fall scheduling issues. Inital payments are due by your team meeting. We will also announce team coaches at the team meetings.
Also, please mark the following dates on your calendar:
August 4-7: CASA Team Camp
August 11: Regular Season Training Begins for Academy, Classic and Challenge teams
August 21: Regular Season Training for Developmental teams begin
Labor Day Weekend: 2nd Annual Southeast BalloonFest Soccer Tournament
Again, thank you for your interest in playing soccer with CASA, and we look forward to seeing you at the team meetings.

3) Fall 2008 Fees. The CASA Fall 2008 fees are $325 for Academy and $545 for Classic/Challenge. Our fees include all state-level registration fees, league fees, referee fees, field costs, and training costs for the regular season. Players that do not already have uniforms must purchase uniforms. As competitively chosen teams, we encourage our academy, classic and challenge teams to participate in two tournaments each season. Tournament costs are not included in our fees as registration fees vary from tournament to tournament.
4) Playing competitive soccer is a significant commitment of time and resources. In the Fall season, Academy players are scheduled to train approximately 60 hours, and our Classic/Challenge players are scheduled to train approximately 84 hours. This works out to $5.42/hr and $6.49/hr for these two programs, respectively and doesn’t include the training that coaches provide during matches. Nevertheless, the financial commitment is significant for most families, and, in particular, those with multiple players in the club. The below fee payment schedule portrays the $30 multi-player discount that is provided as well as our installment plan for those that wish to use it. At check out, our on-line registration system will allow you pay by credit card or by check as well as allow you to pay all fees up front or pay through the below installment plan.

5) We will use the same uniforms as last year. Academy, classic, and challenge two-uniform kit cost $106. The developmental one-uniform kit costs $53. If your uniform is in good condition from last year, you should not have to purchase another uniform. If you need a full kit (jersey, shorts, and socks), you should purchase it as you accept your position. Visit our on-line store to purchase individual uniform pieces or other club merchandise. (The on-line store will be active on June 5, 2008.)
