Virginia National Championship Series
The State Cup, Fall 2021
Weather, we are watching the weather and it is different all over the State.
I do think that we will get some rain. 90 +% of all games are on turf.
We are monitoring the grass fields and right now all are in good shape and games are expected to play.
If we have any information that more than one or two teams need we will post it here. Please monitor this page tomorrow.
Once the games begin, the referee crew will have control of the play and will make the decision on continuing to play or not. Everyone needs to be aware.
If you have a long trip check the web site and keep your cell phone lines open to receive calls.
We can't notify anyone if we don't have a current and monitored phone to use.
We will call the managers first and expect them to answer.
Feel free to give me a call too if you have any questions.

ELIGIBILITY
Any team of a member of VYSA and participating in a recognized league and properly registered (having an official VYSA State Cup roster and US Youth Soccer player passes), is eligible to enter any one age group corresponding to the age of the oldest player on its roster.
There will be the one freeze date for all rosters in the Fall competition for U15, U16, U17, U18 and U19 age groups. All players who are eligible for the competition in the National Championship Series must have been rostered to US Youth Soccer and your club by September 15, 2021. At the 48-hour freeze deadline, those players who are on the frozen roster are the only players eligible to compete in the Virginia State Cup portion of the National Championship Series.
If a player is registered on a VYSA State Cup team 48 hours prior to the first State Cup game, the player may not compete in another State Cup for any other team during the seasonal year (Sept. 1 to Aug. 31). A team may have no more than five transferred players on its VYSA State Cup roster. A team may compete in only one State Cup competition during a seasonal year.
