2011 CYSA STATE CUP

ABOUT CYSA STATE CUP

CYSA State Cup is an open competition for any boys' and girls' Division 1, 3 or 4 team.  This is the highest degree of state-level competition offered and is the only CYSA Cup available for the Division 1 teams to enter if they had advanced to quarter-finals in the previous year of State Cup.  Additionally, some of the strongest Division 3 teams opt to test their skills in CYSA State Cup.  Although it is rare, a Division 4 team can choose to participate in State Cup.  This Cup is the approved state qualifier for the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series.  CYSA State Cup begins with a weekend of preliminary rounds for each of the teams.  After several more weekends of single elimination rounds, the competition culminates with the annual State Cup Championships where the Division 1 state champions are crowned.  Winners of the U-12 through U-19 CYSA State Cup competitions go on to represent CYSA in the US Youth Soccer Region IV Championships (Far West Regionals).  Winners of U-14 through U-19 Regional Championships advance to the US Youth Soccer National Championships.  CYSA State Cup takes place in mid-winter for the U-12 through U-13 teams and begin in early spring for the U-14 through U-19 age groups.  Participating teams may be subject to travel over long distances and rescheduling of games due to adverse weather conditions.  Teams should take these factors into consideration before applying.
