Announcing the CYSA "Presidents Cup"

(April 22, 2010) - California Youth Soccer Association is pleased to announce the creation of their new cup competition program
that will offer teams one more option to compete for a State Championship and that will lead teams to Regional and National
Competition. CYSA Presidents Cup will join the existing cadre of cup competitions offered by CYSA to ensure there is a state
championship program in place to best serve each level of the full array of CYSA teams. Presidents Cup will offer competition
in the U10 through U17 age groups with U13 through U17 age groups having the opportunity to advance to Regional Presidents
Cup Competition and U14 through U17 teams moving on to National Presidents Cup.

Joining CYSA State Cup, CYSA Association Cup and CYSA Founders’ Cup, the new CYSA Presidents Cup establishes a
championship program that will provide better opportunities for the second tier or “silver” level Division 1 teams and the
high-level Division 3 teams or “bronze” teams to participate in a US Youth Soccer Regional Qualifier event. It is a perfect fit for
those teams that find themselves slightly over-matched in State Cup competition and for the Division 3 teams that are looking for
a level of competition that is a step above what Association Cup offers.

Much like CYSA’s State Cup is the designated qualifying event for the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, CYSA
Presidents Cup competition will be used to determine which teams will advance to the Region IV Presidents Cup Championship.
The Region IV Presidents Cup competition takes place in June will involve teams from the 14 Far West Regional states and will
determine which teams will move on to compete in July at the National Presidents Cup event.

CYSA Presidents Cup will launch in the 2010-2011 season and run consecutively with CYSA State Cup. CYSA is excited and
proud to offer this new level of competition as we continue to expand the opportunities that best suit the needs and demands
of our soccer membership as we move forward. Watch for more detailed information to be published in the coming months.

CYSA Board of Directors Approves Changes for Tournaments

(May 7th, 2009) - Effective May 4th, 2009 - Teams applying to CYSA sanctioned tournaments will submit their application and
fees directly to the tournament. Applications will no longer be submitted to the District Tournament Coordinator for processing.
A team may apply to only one tournament per weekend whether it is a CYSA, Out of State or International Tournament.

A team may apply to another tournament on the same weekend only after being rejected from the tournament to which they
originally applied or after withdrawing from the tournament to which they originally applied. TEAMS FOUND TO HAVE VIOLATED
THIS POLICY WILL FACE SEVERE PENALTIES.

Teams withdrawing from a tournament should be aware that a tournament may include in its rules a provision that allows the
tournament to keep the entry fees for any team that applies. Please check with the tournament regarding their refund policies.
In addition to the possibility of forfeiting their entry fees, teams withdrawing from a tournament less than 14 days before the
start of the tournament may be fined $300 by the tournament for a late withdrawal.
