The CYSA Board of Directors and Cup Committees are delighted to announce that all Under 10 Cup play has been approved to take place at our inaugural Under-10 CYSA Cup Festival.  In an effort to introduce our young members to their first CYSA Cup experience, we have decided to schedule all three levels of Under-10 Cup play in one location over two thrill-packed weekends in December.  This not only allows the Under 10 families who planned to participate in CYSA Cup to wrap up their seasons earlier than originally planned, but it provides us with the opportunity to focus exclusively on the Under-10 age groups by scheduling all Under-10 Cup matches at a centralized venue in Livermore, California.  Representatives from each of the three Cup Committees will be on hand to conduct the competitions and to ensure the event runs smoothly from start to finish.  The weekend of December 5th - 6th is set for preliminary-round matches where teams will play each of the other teams in their bracket (typically teams are placed in 4-team brackets).  Based on the results of those matches, the teams with the highest number of points in each bracket will advance to the single elimination round competition on December 12th - 13th.  In keeping their pledge to provide a full-service association that offers a broad array of programs to meet the needs of every player, CYSA's three Cups have a distinct level of competition for every division of play that will accommodate the full spectrum of talent levels.  All games will be played in a 8-v-8 format.  We encourage your team to see what CYSA is all about.  Join us for this exciting and fun-filled event that will showcase "the game for ALL kids" where we put the Kids First!
