The 2009 District IX Cup Championships tournament is for CYSA District IX boys and girls teams in the U12, U14, U16 and U19 age groups playing in either Division 3 or Division 4. There are separate cups for each age, gender and division. This year the District Board of Directors has decided to return the District Cup to a "tournament of champions" and team entry will be handled by each league. The entry fee for this year will be $230 and must be paid by league check.
Up first will be the Division 3 Cup on the weekend of November 7 and 8 (rain or shine). The Division 3 Cup will be played at the Redding Soccer Park. The Division 3 Cup is open to all District IX Division 3 teams that have participated in an approved league.
The Division 4 Cup has a new format this year. The Cup is open only to each league's champion (ie Anderson sends one team, Lassen sends one team, etc). Each league can determine independently how their league champion is "crowned". Additional slots will be awarded to the Cup hosts and the larger leagues in District IX if necessary. The Division 4 Cup will be held on the weekend of November 14-15 (with an alternate rain date of November 21-22). The cups will be played and concluded in a single weekend with each age group championship game being played on Sunday afternoon (typical). Division 4 Cup locations will be determined by mid-September. If 3 or more teams in each age/gender group enter, there will be older age group cups in Division 4.
Teams are required to obtain credentials verfication from their home league registrar (rule VII.j.). Please contact your league registrar to obtain the necessary clearance. You will be given a form to present to the host site before your first game.
