If you thought last week was fun, then Saturday will be even better

Advanced Soccer Program (new 2025)

The CSL Advanced program is designed for players who want to stay in recreational soccer while competing at a higher level.

League: Teams compete in the Tidewater Advanced Soccer League (TASL).
Games: About 8 games each season, typically on Saturdays.
Locations: Games are held across the Tidewater area. Depending on division, the farthest locations may include Elizabeth City, Currituck County or Williamsburg.
Player Development: Advanced soccer offers players their first competitive challenge and helps them develop skills and game understanding needed to move toward Travel/Select play.

Season & Training

Commitment: Advanced teams ages U9 to U13 are selected for a full soccer year (Fall & Spring). Advanced teams ages U14 to U19 are seasonally selected based on team and league registration.
Practices: Two 90-minute sessions per week.
Fall Season: Begins after Labor Day, ends before Thanksgiving (no games on Columbus Day weekend).
Spring Season: Begins mid-March, ends before Memorial Day (no games on Easter weekend).
