District II Cup History
The District II Spring Cup is unlike any other youth soccer competition in Northern California. Each year, through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, the District II Spring Cup brings together boys' and girls' competitive and sometimes recreational teams from ages U8 - U19 for a weekend of fun to wrap up the Spring season.
The District II Spring Cup has grown to be an enormous event. Annually, 400 to 500 teams participate in this event - making the District II Spring Cup one of the largest Spring youth soccer competitions in CYSA, and one of the largest in California.
The District II Spring Cup has two primary purposes:
- Fundraising - Proceeds are used to fund many different programs in the District, and are also deposited into the District II special account for building new playing fields.
- Competition - The event gives District II teams and selected from neighboring Districts a chance to test themselves in a cup-style competition (as opposed to regular league play) against their peers.
To facilitate balanced competition, an attempt is made to divide large age groups according to team record, and to "seed" within groupings. Several things are important to note about this process:
- This is not "March Madness", nor is it the NCAA soccer championships. THere is no full-time, paid committee to consider "power ratings" or strength of schedule, in order to rank the 400+ teams and make it a perfect process. (What's more, when was the last time there were no arguments about the NCAA's seeding?)
- Seeding is based on past performance as well as league standings to-date.
- Remember that teams are seeded in mid to late April, before there has been much league play.
Once the groupings and match-ups are set and the schedules created, the information is then forwarded to the individual host leagues, which must find fields (never easy) and assign referees (always a perennial challenge). Delays sometimes occur due to rain-outs, field closings by cities and park districts, scheduling problems, and plain old human shortcomings.
In virtually every league, the majority of the work falls on a very small minoriyt of volunteers. If you would like to contribute to the District Cup's success and help enhance the process - get involved!
The District II Board is committed to continuing to tackle this monumental undertaking each year to offer boys and girls a fun soccer experience, and to raise money for the District's many worthwhile programs.
