Found CASL through a friend who needed another teammate for dodgeball. Was amazed by the community environment that the organization brings out. Social activities on Cape have gotten so few and far between and CASL consistently delivers a healthy, affordable, safe, and fun setting for adults of all ages to get together to socialize and stay active.

CASL, gave me a community in my adult life. They have been patient with me teaching new sports, that I did not have the opportunity to learn in my childhood. I have made plenty of friends, and gained so much confidence

CASL was one of the best parts of living on the cape. I was able to join this league back in 2015 and it was more than just adults playing games that we loved as kids, it was people meeting and making new friends but friends that would last a lifetime. We sang karaoke together celebrated holidays and birthdays together and it has been an amazing journey with amazing friends that I would’ve never met if it wasn’t for Casl and Shaun who put it all together. Meeting up weekly turned into staying in touch and making memories that will last forever. CASL is great for the cape where there isn’t much to do in the winter and casl gives us an opportunity to get out and do positive things within the community not having a place to be able to do these things would be a shame and we need to be able to find somewhere to keep the positivity a thing, I hope CASL stays for as long as it can and I thank Shaun and the league for everything…

Without CASL I feel I would have met people with my own interests.. nor would have I met my girlfriend of six years and counting. It is particularly hard to meet friends and people on this island and without a doubt if I haven’t joined CASL I would have had as many friends as I do now. Cape Cod needs young adult sports leagues and social events to help keep this island going

I moved to Barnstable 17 years ago and for the first 8 years I only knew my coworkers. I struggled to meet people I felt like I fit in with as it was difficult on the summer scene to meet people that weren't here on vacation and the off season wasn't any easier. I've been involved with different CASL sports for 9 years which keeps me active throughout the year, on the fields all summer and inside on the courts in the winter. I've since increased my contacts to a couple hundred like minded individuals that enjoy getting to know others while involved in gameplay as the main focus. I plan to continue participating as long as my aging knees and aching joints will allow.

CASL is brilliant. Especially during the winter with the long dark days, I need the indoor soccer to keep me going. Great people and great competition!

I’ve met all my best friends through CASL sports. It’s my outlet from every day stresses/ my therapy.
I’ve made plenty of business for my family business I run.
CASL is responsible for a ton of marriages! There are literally plenty of babies on this earth because of the league.
The other day my friend was so hurt over a breakup and I suggested joining the league to 1. Get out more and 2. See that there are plenty of other men out there and it’s an easy way to get to know people! And she hopes to join.
I believe there is genuinely only positives to CASL and it’s VERY important that we keep it going for the community!

I haven’t found a better way personally how to be more social and make friends than sports games. That’s why when I got first time to US on Cape Cod in 2018 I started looking into sports groups where I can enjoy the game I love the most - soccer. And the CASL was the only place I found which has amateur soccer nights. They’re affordable, organized, planned and have everything, all I need to do is to show up. People are friendly and accepting any level of skill, gender and age. Moving forward to 2023 CASL is still the only sports group/community which have easy access, multifunctionality (physical activity, social, competitive and so on..) and perfect organization. The only and the best one on Cape Cod!

I’ve been involved with CASL for 10 years being a cape native I have to say this one of the best things I’ve seen here in my life. I’ve been in other sports leagues too but CASL is a league for all. It’s great for keeping people busy and entertained all year long. . Shaun Conway works extremely hard to organize this and could use help from local municipalities .
Thank you

My Fiancee and I found CASL last winter when a coworker asked us to be on his dodgeball team. We joined and couldn't have been any happier for it! I played dodgeball in middle school and I have some great memories from it, and CASL dodgeball brought all those back and then some. Last winter Wednesdays were the best, I looked forward to two games of dodgeball every week and it never disappointed. I was very excited to get back at it this winter and was pretty sad when I heard the Wixon school was no longer an option. I was offered a ln engine maintenance class through work and one of the days it would be on was Wednesday nights. I had to tell my boss that I couldn't give up my dodgeball day no matter how beneficial the class would be towards my work! I hope that somewhere will let us lease some space for dodgeball because I was truly looking forward to it all fall!

CASL dodgeball was a highlight of my winter last year and I wanna get back after it! It was such a good experience and I hope that I will get to play in more than just one year of it!

CASL is most definitely the best adult social activity on Cape Cod. Consistently, for two years, this league has been great wholesome fun with healthy competition mixed in. A great way to overcome hump day (Wednesday) while getting the heart rate up, and giving that needed boost to push through till the weekend. For those of us looking for activities outside the bars that don't break the bank, CASL never disappoints.

Since joining CASL, I have made great friends who have really made a positive impact in my life. For young adults on Cape Cod, this can be a big challenge. Having a place to gather and compete over a common goal (winning), naturally builds healthy relationships. I have witnessed folks from all backgrounds come together during my time with CASL. A diverse community of young adults has been so refreshing to see on a weekly basis.

The commissioner of CASL, Shaun Conway, works very hard to maintain a safe, organized, and professional environment. He places an emphasis on safety and cares about the well being of every participant. The events are always well thought out and communication is on point. Shaun even takes the time to teach fundamental skills of each sport, and go over the rules in detail. He has helped develop my kicking skill and fielding ability quite a bit.

Undoubtedly, CASL, is a huge boon to Cape Cod and our community. I very strongly advocate for this league, and hope a venue can be found to maintain continuity this winter.

I moved down the Cape during Covid. CASL is the reason I have continued to live on the Cape for the last 3 years. Moving to the cape as a thirty-something can be lonely and isolating, especially in winter. It is hard to meet people. CASL allowed me to stay active and meet new people. I look forward to Wednesdays! It is truly the highlight of my week. It is great for my physical well-being but also my social/mental well-being.

The people I have met at kickball and dodgeball have become great friends. We have gone on hikes, run 5ks, joined book clubs, and even traveled to other countries together. There are people from all walks of life who are part of the league, e.g., doctors, nurses, teachers, construction guys, engineers, landscapers, etc. Shaun and CASL create a community on the Cape for adults to be social and feel like they belong. This network of folks makes the Cape a better place to live. For example, when my car broke down, a friend from CASL helped fix my tire. Others have house-sat or dog-sat, picked up friends' children from school when they were working late, or watched the kids when they were sick. I have also done business locally and bought goods or used services from folks I have met in the league that I would have outsourced off Cape otherwise (e.g., moving company, surveyors, electricians, pest control, etc.). Truly, if it wasn't for CASL and the friends I had made down here, I would have moved back up to Boston.
