LAMINATED PLAYER/TEAM OFFICIAL PASSES

It has come to the attention of the Cup Committee that there are still questions about laminating player and team official passes. This is required.

Passes in plastic pouches that are not sealed or in plastic pockets in a notebook will not suffice.
Each pass must be sealed by lamination.
Please bring only laminated passes for each player and team official to the match.
There has been some discussion about the need for additional laminated passes since all player's and team official pictures now appear on the State Cup roster. This can be a second check of players and team officials but it does not take the place of current laminated passes. In the 15U-19U age groups, with the limited substitution rule, referees hold the passes during the game to make sure that the substitution process is proper for each team. Also the Regional and National Championships rules still require the presentation to the referee, of a laminated pass.
You must have your Official Game Day Roster form (State Cup Roster) and your laminated passes at every game.

Welcome Letter

Teams, Welcome to State Cup, Spring 2021. We are all happy for this Spring season and our wish is for everyone to stay safe.

CLICK HERE for the Welcome Letter for this Spring. This letter is important and has information that each of you will need as you get ready to play State Cup this Spring.

We are working on play dates for each age group right now and should have those out to you this weekend. We are looking at field availability and numbers of games each weekend, both State Cup and Presidents Cup.

What we do know right now is we will only play the round of 32 the weekend of April 17. So if your age group has 17 or more teams in it, your age group will play on the 17th. Look at the first round of games and if you have an opponent listed and have 17 or more teams in your age group you will play on the 17th. If you are listed as having a bye, your team will not start on April 17. We are still working on which weekend we will use for the round of 16.

If your team is scheduled for April 17 you may send us a game time request for that day. Please be specific as to a morning or afternoon game time and the reason for your request. We will do the best we can to accommodate your request.

We do know which teams have coaching conflicts in State Cup so we will also look at that for accommodations too. We will get the April 17 schedule out to you around April 9 or 10.

Your request for the April 17 schedule needs to be sent to us no later than Wednesday, April 7.
