For all teams,
check with
your league registrar for deadline
dates for getting your documents into them for
processing. They must have time for documents to be
processed, and delivered. These dates will be in advance
of the CYSA dates, so don't think that you have until the
very last second to get your documents in.

Coaches 2010-2011 Founders' Cup Guide:
A document that gives information on Founders' Cup,
Founders' Cup Rules, may be found
here.
U10-U11 playing location and date:
The current field status for U10-U11 play for Founders'
Cup, 2010 games, is pointing toward the Ripon Soccer Complex (also called 'Mistlin
Soccer Complex').
U12-U14 playing location and date:
The current field status for U12-U14 games is
tentatively scheduled in two parts. For the preliminary games, Camp
Park Soccer Complex, Fremont, CA. For the semi-finals and finals, Stockton
Soccer Complex, Stockton, CA.
To put it briefly:
 |
No guest players. |
 |
If you apply and pay online, you still need all
the paper documentation into the office by the deadline. |
 |
NINE (9) players from the current recreational
season team must form the core of the team. You may ADD up any
number of players to your team, who had not played/registered for the
current recreational season. NOTE:
For District VIII teams, there is a deadline date, after which
you may not add players to your team. Check with your league
register on this date. You may transfer a maximum of three
(3) players from other current recreational teams to your team.
Team limit is 18 players (except for U10-U11 teams, where the roster
size is capped at 13). |
 |
Your first step in preparing to go to Founders'
Cup is to speak with your league registrar to get their deadlines for
having your roster processed for Founders' Cup. They can
also answer your questions as to adding players to your team, or getting
unregistered players on to your roster. |

On-Line Application Process:
CYSA has an automated process for doing applications, on-line, at the
following site

Spectator Behavior
This is an issue for coaches and CYSA. CYSA holds a coach
responsible for the behavior of their spectators. In matches, a coach
and their spectators may be separated. This means that a coach will
have to watch the game, and the conduct of their spectators, from across the
field. This means that the coach and assistant coach will have to work
with each other on watching aspects of both the game, and spectators.
It would be beneficial to task the 'team parent' with helping to monitor the
parents, as they must be on the sideline with the parents (they are not a
team 'coach', with credentials, so they would be with the spectators).
However, remember the coach has the final responsibility, if something
happens. If it is apparent that the team parent cannot get a parent to
settle down, they need to notify the coach immediately. If the
team parent seeks a CYSA field officer nearby, they can also explain the
situation to them, to seek assistance.
Cleats & stadiums

IMPORTANT:
If you are scheduled to play in one of the stadiums (OSC
south, or OSC
north), you have some advance work to do with
your team. Do not forget to check all of your players in
advance to ensure that they have the right cleats to play in the stadiums,
on the artificial turf.
Metal cleats are not allowed.
Referees will be checking cleats.
Lodging
Think long, pay long here folks. You need to
pay attention as to when the venue is announced. Needless to say,
the cheaper rooms go first! Everything is first come, first served.
You also need to
have a parents meeting and talk about how the chaperoning will work,
especially for any player that may attend the games without parents (i.e.
traveling with another family and staying in their room, or adjoining
rooms). Coaches may want to review the following item, from the league
insurance carrier
(click here).
Car Pools
Well, Murphy's Law is alive and well. If you are not familiar with
this simple principal:
Murphy's law is an
adage in
Western culture that broadly states
that things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a
chance. "If there's more than one possible outcome of a job or task,
and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable
consequence, then somebody will do it that way." It is most often cited
as "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" (or, alternately, "Whatever
can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst
possible way" or, "Anything that can go wrong, will," or even, "If
anything can go wrong, it will, and usually at the most inopportune
moment").
CYSA has a
form that seeks to protect you from
that well worn adage, if you wish to use it. This is the Car Pool Driver
Form, which can also be found in the back of your Team Manual. Here is
a reality check. If you have an SUV and you have it loaded with
players, will your insurance coverage be adequate if you have a accident
and everyone in your vehicle sustains injuries? If you have seven (7)
individuals in your vehicle, and a $50,000 policy, that is divided between all
seven of you, resulting in $7,142 per person that your insurance will cover.
If there were injuries, resulting in a death, for just one person, you could
be immediately up a creek, during a flood.
Team area during a game
Coaches are responsible to ensure that only credentialed team
personnel are in the team area during a game. No parents/sponsors are
allowed. CYSA personnel will be checking team areas for authorized
personnel, as per team check-in, with credentials having been previously
presented. You may have a total of four (4) licensed team personnel in
the team area. Please take note, the spouses/significant others,
and children of licensed personnel are spectators and must be in the
spectator area.
