Welcome to the Spring 2008 Virginia State Cup and the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series. Good luck to all of the teams participating this year.
The State Cup Draw took place April , at the VYSA State Office in Woodbridge. The results of the draw have been posted on the VYSA website. Each age group will have a bracket and it will list the opponent and the home and away designation. For those age groups that require a round of 64, be sure to scroll way down on the bracket sheet to see the teams listed.
The Cup Committee has started to schedule the first games. We hope to have all of the games for April 12th scheduled by Sunday, April 6th Right now we plan to play the rounds of 64 for the boys and girls U12 and U13s plus the round of 32 for the U14s on the weekend of April 12th. Aril 19th will be the biggest Cup weekend.
If your club has entered many teams in the competition, but has not provided any fields it will be especially hard to schedule games close to your home area. Please contact your field schedulers and ask them to do all they can to make at least one field available for State Cup play on April 12th and 19th. Please be patient. Schedules will be made available on the Website as soon as we have all the fields required.
It doesn’t help us if every coach and parent writes an email asking about the schedule. That is one email for each of you, but a 1 x ??? for us. If your club has not offered a field yet, and they have entered more than 3 teams, please ask them if they are going to give the Cup Committee a Saturday field?
