Coaches/Parents, please remember the following transfer rules apply:

NOVEMBER 1ST TRANSFER POLICY:

Players who transfer from one club to another club after November 1st will be ineligible for participation in both Arizona State Cup and Arizona President's Cup including Regionals and Nationals & the National Championship series (known as Arizona State Cup, Far West Regionals and US Youth Soccer Nationals) for that seasonal year. A transfer is defined as the process by which a player changes club affiliation, moving from one club and re-registering to a team within a different club within the same seasonal year.

A maximum of five (5) transfers are allowed for teams which participate in the National Championships Series, known as Arizona State Cup.

There is no limitation on transfers for teams participating in Arizona President's Cup.

The November 1st transfer deadline does not apply to the 19U age group.

About Arizona Youth Soccer State Cup Championships

As one of the two State Tournaments under Arizona Youth Soccer, the US Youth Soccer Arizona State Championships is the most prestigious tournament and showcases the highest level of competitive play within the state at the 12 & Under through 19 & Under age groups. Each year the tournament attracts over 3,000 participants and thousands more spectators and fans. Designed to encourage and honor the elite players, this tournament is structured so that the best team in each age group from each state is determined to advance to the US Youth Soccer Region IV (Far West Regionals) Championships and ultimately the US Youth Soccer National Championships.

US YOUTH SOCCER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES FWR Entry Recap by State

Arizona Boys 16U and Girls 12U will be granted a Wildcard entry to the Far West Regional Championships. That means the Winner of the Boys 16U and Girls 12U State Championship will advance as well as the Finalist (as the Wildcard). Note that if the Champion of the USYS Regional League Desert Conference also wins the Arizona State Cup, that team is going as the State Cup Champion and the Desert Conference spot is given to the DC 2nd place finisher. IF this were to occur for an age group with the wildcard such as the 16U, the Finalist of the Arizona State Cup would attend as the Wildcard. The 12U event is held in conjunction with the West President's Cup Regionals in Norco, CA. See the President's Cup web page for more information.
