Presidents Cup Announcement

The VYSA Presidents Cup will be run in the Fall of 2009 for the U13 and U14 boys and girls age groups and at a date to be determined in early 2010 for the U15, U16 and U17 boys and girls age groups.

The Presidents Cup Regional format has changed. The competition will be run with one Regional competition date. The State winners will go to a single Region 1 site for the Regional finals. This year the games will be played on Memorial Day Weekend, May 29, 30 and 31. The location for Regional finals is the Albany, New York area.

In Virginia, the U15, U16 and U17 boys and girls will continue to play only State Cup in the Fall. The State Champions and runner up teams from the Fall 2009 State Cup competition may not enter the Presidents Cup in Spring 2010. In addition, no team that applies to or is accepted by the Region 1 Premier League may enter the Presidents Cup competiton. All other U15 -U17 teams will be eligible to play in the Presidents Cup competition.

This Fall, U13 and U14 boys and girls will play Presidents Cup in October and November and the State Cup in Spring. The application for the Fall Presidents Cup will be available on the VYSA web site on September 1, 2009.

If a team wins both Cups, they must accept the State Cup Championship and proceed to the National Championship Series Cup. In this case the second place team in the Presidents Cup will become the Presidents Cup Champion and go to the Regional event for the Presidents Cup.

The State Champion (or selected team) that proceeds to Regional competition will be required to pay the Regional entry fee. The Regional competition fee for for the Presidents Cup is $500.00 plus a prorated share of the 200.00 per referee fee.
