Charlottesville, VA (Via Club Champions League) – Designed to mirror the US Youth Soccer National Championships, the US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup is offered to those teams seeking additional challenges to play against teams of similar abilities for a national title.

The Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA) Presidents Cup began in early September with over 100 teams looking to earn a spot in the Eastern Regional Championships held this summer. Championship matches were played on November 4, with Club Champions League (CCL) clubs and their CCL II teams claiming 8-of-14 titles.

With four titles, and five teams competing in championship matches, Beach FC was the most represented club in the tournament. Executive Director, Steve Danbusky had the following to say: “For the past few years Beach FC has been entering teams into the President’s Cup. Being able to play new and diverse competition in a single elimination format adds to the youth soccer experience. Kids have to deal with different pressures, and the benefits of playing in that environment—whether the team wins or loses—are a very important part of development. Additionally, for the teams that advance into the regional competition – they get to experience some great team bonding over a multiple day event.”
