November 23, 2011-The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications from boys and girls from Under-13 to Under-17 to compete in the Region 1 Presidents Cup on Memorial Day weekend--May 25 to 28, 2012--in Londonberry and Nashua, New Hampshire.
The Region 1 Presidents Cup is the regional qualifier for the U.S. Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup. All age group winners of the regional Presidents Cups move on, except Under-13s, to play in the National Presidents Cup in Sacramento, California on July 11 to 15, 2012.
Last year, the Girls-Under-15 Capital United of the Capital District Youth Soccer League and Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association won the Region 1 Presidents Cup and represented ENYYSA at the Nationals in Iowa.
The Presidents Cup is a mid-level tournament for those youth teams looking to play against squads of similar abilities for a national title. As such, teams making the semifinal rounds of State Open Cups and those competing in the Region 1 Premier League or Region 1 Sub-Regional Leagues are ineligible. The last day to apply to play in the Presidents Cup is December 15 and selected teams will be announced on January 15. The fee to compete in the Presidents Cup is $250.
