TASL TOURNAMENT MAY 1-2


LOCATION \ DIRECTIONS
All games will be played at Churchland Park, 4100 Cedar Lane, Portsmouth.
Avoid any routes that take you through the Downtown Tunnel (I-264 West). It will be closed this weekend.

Below are directions using I-64 to I-664. Please plan to arrive early, since traffic could be very unpredictable with the tunnel closing in the area.

Take I-64 toward Suffolk. At the end of I64 take I-664 going toward Newport News. Continue until you come to the Route 164 exit. Take this exit toward Portsmouth. Continue on Route 164 until you come to the Cedar Lane exit (between 2 and 3 miles). Take the Cedar Lane exit and turn left onto Cedar Lane.

Cedar Lane will cross over I-164. Once you cross I-164, you will approach Churchland Park. There is a fire-station at the corner of Cedar Rd. and River Shore Rd. You will see the Churchland Soccer Complex just behind the fire-station.

Once at the corner of Cedar Rd. and River Shore Rd.:
1) - You can turn left here for parking at Churchland Middle School (first right) or continue to Churchland Academy parking lot. (Second right). 2) – You can continue up Cedar Lane and park at Churchland High School on the right (can cross over on foot behind Churchland Middle School via sidewalk). 3) – You can continue up Cedar Lane and turn left just before the Craney Island USCG facility entrance. This road wraps around the tennis courts to the back side of the soccer complex. There is parking all along this road – but tends to be crowded.

Please plan for the players to stay at the field site between games on Saturday. We will set up a tent, and eat together and relax between matches. We'll lock-in food plans with everyone Friday night at practice.
