COMMON QUESTIONS
My teams is an experienced and competitive futsal team but we cannot attend the US Youth Soccer Futsal National Championships, should we apply for the Futsal State Cup or Futsal Presidents Cup?  Experienced and competitive futsal teams should register for the Futsal State Cup.  Teams are under no obligation to attend the US Youth Soccer Futsal National Championships. At the time of registration, all teams applying for the Futsal State Cup will be asked if they will attend the National event. Any team that commits to going after the conclusion of the event, but then drops out will be issued a fine but teams that know they cannot attend Nationals, February 24-26, and notify IYSA of that, will face no fine or punishment. 

My team does not play in Illinois Youth Soccer member competitive league but we play in a US Club league, can we compete in the these futsal events?  YES - this competition is open to any player or team. If your team and  is NOT currently a registered member of Illinois Youth Soccer you can compete but you must complete the IYSA Tournament Team form and pay the appropriate fees.  

My club team is not playing but I have friends on another club that are playing, can I guest play with them?  Yes, players from an IYSA member team can guest play with another IYSA member team for the Futsal Cups. All the player would need to do is get a copy of their IYSA member competitive league pass to show at the event. 

Can my Illinois Youth Soccer member team use players registered to US Club, ECNL, GA or other soccer organizations for this event? YES BUT the player must complete the IYSA Individual Tournament Player Pass and pay the appropriate fee.

My child and their friends are going to play, can I as a parent coach the team?  If you have an IYSA member competitive league coaches pass - Yes you can coach the team.

Please note that this required a background check that can take 7-10 days to process as well as the requirement to have a US Soccer Grassroots Coaching license, which is subject to availability so if going this route be sure to PLAN AHEAD.
