Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer State Cup Applications
Now Available Online; EPYSA Offers Three Levels of Competition in 2010
Horsham, PA - January 15, 2010- For the first time, the Eastern Pennsylvania
Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA) will offer three levels of outdoor state
cup competition, the EPYSA State Cup, the Eastern Pennsylvania Challenge
Cup, and new this year, the Eastern Pennsylvania Presidents Cup.
Applications are now available online at the EPYSA website at http://www.EPYSA.org
and will be accepted until 11:59 PM Eastern time on February 15, 2010.
The top level of play is the EPYSA State Cup Presented by Angelo's Soccer
Corner, which serves the first leg of the US Youth Soccer National
Championship Series. EPYSA State Cup champions earn the right to compete at
the Region 1 championships and potentially advance to the US Youth Soccer
National Championships. In 2009, five Eastern Pennsylvania state cup
champions advanced to nationals, with FC Bucks Vipers bringing home the
Girls under 18 National Championship. EPYSA teams have participated in the
National Championships dating back to 1939, when Lighthouse Boys Club won
the (Under 19) McGuire Cup.
New in 2010 is the EPYSA Presidents Cup. The Presidents Cup is a national
tournament for highly competitive teams. The Presidents Cup, like State Cup,
is a 'knockout' style tournament where only winners advance to the next
round. The EPYSA Presidents Cup champion earns the right to compete in the
Region 1 event, where winners advance to the National Presidents Cup.
The third level of competition is the EPYSA Challenge Cup, a statewide
tournament for competitive teams looking to challenge themselves outside of
regular league competition. The Challenge Cup, established in 1996, is
played in a 'World Cup' format, guaranteeing each team three games. The semi
finals and finals of these events will be played at Thornbury Soccer Park
and Delacy Soccer Complex, hosted by West Chested United S.C. The June
finals will be held at the Hempfield High School Complex, and hosted by
Hempfield Soccer Club.
'We're pleased to offer these three levels of competitions, providing
opportunities and experiences for teams and players of all levels,' said Bob
McDade, president of EPYSA. 'We are very proud of the tradition of the State
Cups and have been blessed with many great teams, players and coaches that
have participated over the years. It is our sincere hope that we are blessed
again with the success that we had in 2009 with so many teams representing
Eastern Pennsylvania on the national stage.'
The US Youth Soccer National Championship Series heads to West Virginia for
the Region 1 Championships and the National Championships will be held in
Overland Park, Kansas. The Presidents Cup Regionals take place in Saratoga
Springs, NY and the National Presidents Cup will be held in Murfreesboro,
Tennessee.
