Poaching players from other competitive teams is a serious offense which carries stiff penalties. Be sure that you know what practices are allowed and what are not allowed for your coaches, parents, and players. For the latest version of District II's Poaching policies, CLICK HERE.

District II League Coaching Coordinators

Got some questions about the various CYSA coaching licenses? Looking for ideas for drills to teach technical skills or tactical play? Need any other kind of general coaching help?

CYSA Coach of the Year

Do you know a great volunteer coach? One who spends endless hours teaching soccer (and life skills) to your son or daughter, juggling game schedules, putting nets up and taking them down, painting fields, and perhaps refereeing a few games? You should nominate this deserving individual to be Coach of the Year. One girls and one boys coach will be selected from within District II. The winners will then be eligible to be named CYSA State Coach of the Year at the annual CYSA Equipment Show. Download the official nomination form. Nominations are due no later than October 31st.
