Virginia Presidents Cup
Fall 2019
Thank you all for entering your team in the 2019-2020 VYSA Presidents Cup. Our State Championship is part of a National Championship Series for US Youth Soccer. All of our State Champions will go to the Regional Championships in Charleston and Huntington, West Virginia June 19-23, 2020. The Regional Championship is the second round in the Presidents Cup National Championship and Regional winners from the U13 –U18 age groups will play for the National Championship July 8-12, 20202 in Las Vegas, NV.
Update on schedule for September 14
The age groups that will play on September 14 are the Round of 32 for the U14 Boys and the Round of 16 for the U13 Boys, U15 Boys, U16 Boys, U17 Boys, U13 Girls, U14 Girls, and U15 Girls. There will be no games on September 21 and the games will pick up again on September 28 and October 5. We are holding October 19 as a rain date weekend.
All play dates will proceed as described unless we have a weather issue or unforeseen problems with a game on any one of the scheduled dates. You can mark your calendars with these dates, with the understanding that any one of the above issues may force us to make changes.
We expect to have the game schedule for September 14 available on Saturday or Sunday, September 7 or 8. You will find your schedule for your games when you click on the bracket for each age group. The team listed first on the schedule is home. Read the bracket from left to right with the games listed in the first column starting on September 14. Some teams in this column will have a bye the first round.
If your team is playing on September 14 and you have a request for a game time that day, you must email that request to us no later than Friday September 6 by noon. Schedules for each week, after the week of September 14, will be available on the Sunday night before your next Saturday game. Any requests for game times for those future games must be sent to us no later than 7pm on Saturday.
Each team will need to have a point of contact to receive email from the Affinity system. The point of contact is usually the team manager. It is very important to look for this email and to check you spam folder from time to time if you are not receiving anything. You also must check the VYSA web site on a regular basis. We will post information there under Presidents Cup that will be important for each game.
Please begin to firm up the active players on your roster. U12 teams may have a maximum of 16 teams and teams U13-U18 may have a maximum of 22 active players. U13 teams please read the Presidents Cup rules about U13 teams with more than 18 players. The additional players, if you want to roster above 18, will come from club pass players to your Presidents Cup roster.
All of your information will be available on the VYSA State Cup web page. It is always your responsibility to check this web page regularly.
