CYSA Cup Competition Roster Freeze Dates Posted: 11/21/2007

 

SIDELINE BEHAVIOR

 

Teams participating in CYSA Cup events are advised that due to an increasing number of complaints and incidents regarding inappropriate behavior on the sidelines at soccer matches, the CYSA Board of Directors has instructed the referees to remind each team of section 3:08:03 of the CYSA General Procedures and to inform the team officials during their pre-game instructions to the teams that it is CYSA’s intent to enforce this policy.  All spectators should be advised accordingly as it is the coach who is ultimately held accountable for the behavior of the spectators associated with his or her team.  Please help us enhance everyone’s enjoyment of the game by reminding your team members and spectators of their obligation to abide by this procedure.

 

3:08:03 Coaching from the sidelines, giving direction to one’s own team on points of strategy and position, is permitted provided:

  1. No mechanical devices are used.

  2. The tone of voice is informative and not a harangue.

  3. No coach, substitute, player, or spectator is to be anywhere but at his/her bench area during the game. A team’s bench area shall be that area one (1) yard from the touchline and extending to ten (10) yards, one way, from the half-line only.

  4. No coach, substitute, player or spectator is to make derogatory remarks or gestures to the referees, other players, substitutes, or spectators.

  5. No coach, substitute, or player is to use profanity.

  6. No coach, substitute, player, or spectator is to incite, in any manner, disruptive behavior of any kind.

 

The penalty for the above shall be ejection from the game and disciplinary action will be taken by the Board of Directors of this Association.

Re:      CYSA Founders’ Cup

 

Welcome to the 2007-2008 CYSA Founders’ Cup!

 

The Founders’ Cup is named in recognition of those individuals who were instrumental in the development of youth soccer in California and who worked together as a group of volunteers to form California Youth Soccer Association some 40 years ago.  So it is fitting that our State Championship event for our Division 4 players, who comprise the vast majority of our membership, is named to honor these volunteers.

 

All U12 and U14 Founders’ Cup games are being played at the newly refurbished Morgan Hill Soccer Complex and Outdoor Sports Center.  We hope you are as excited as we are to see the changes that have taken place at the complex in the past 8 months!  Those teams playing on the synthetic turf fields (OSC North-Field A and OSC South-Field B) will note that there are more stringent rules that apply to the stadium area.  If your team is one of those teams, please take note of these rules and be sure to share them with every member of your team.

 

Included in this packet you will find the phone numbers of the CYSA Founders’ Cup District Coordinators, the hotline number, the schedule of games, maps, a list of local hotels for the field locations, the most up to date list of individuals who have suspension yet to be served and information regarding ordering CYSA Founders’ Cup apparel.

 

To receive the most up-to-date information please refer to the CYSA website or the hotline number which is provided in this pamphlet.  PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO LEAVE MESSAGES ON THE HOTLINE; IT IS FOR OUTGOING MESSAGES ONLY.  If after using these resources you still have questions, you should contact the CYSA Founders’ Cup Coordinator from the district in which your team is registered. 

 

While we have provided a set of maps in the packet, you may wish to advise your team that the web site has a link to all of the field maps.  Further, the web site also has the brackets and the schedules for all of the teams.

 

Once again, welcome to the 2007-2008 CYSA Founders’ Cup, and on behalf of the CYSA Founders’ Cup Committee, the Board of Directors of CYSA, the CYSA Programs Department Staff and the youth soccer pioneers that we honor at this event, we wish you and your team the best of luck!

FOUNDERS' CUP RESERVE POOL RULES

Teams that enter after the November 1st, 2007 deadline, for the U12 and U14 or January 2, 2008 for U16 and U19 divisions are not guaranteed the opportunity to play. They must pay an entry fee of $300.00 by certified check, money order, or bank cashiers check.  Any team that enters after the November 1, 2007 deadline, for U12 and U14, or January 2, 2008 for the U16 and U19 divisions and meets all other entrance requirements will be put into the “Reserve Pool”.  The deadline to adjust and add teams to flights divisible by four (4) shall be one week prior to the start of play for each age/gender division of play.  Anytime that a team is needed to “fill” a flight in CYSA Founders’ Cup Play, a team in the “Reserve Pool” in the proper age/gender group shall be blind drawn from the “Pool”.  Any team not blind drawn from the “Reserve Pool” when play commences shall have its $300.00 entry fee returned to the team within thirty (30) days from the first day of play in the team’s age/gender division.

The CYSA Founders’ Cup Committee may blind draw additional teams from the “Reserve Pool” of teams in a particular division to make that division divisible by four (4) prior to the draw.  The CYSA Founders’ Cup Committee will only draw enough teams to get to the first number of teams divisible by four (4) above the number of teams that have entered CYSA Founders’ Cup in the specific age/gender division of play at the time of the CYSA Founders’ Cup Deadline for Entry.

The CYSA Founders’ Cup Committee cannot draw anymore than a maximum of three (3) teams to attain a division of play that is divisible by four (4).
