Procedures for District II Teams Traveling Out of State

If you wish to play in a tournament outside of CYSA-North (including Cal-South), you must have an approved Application to Travel, commonly known as a travel request. This procedure only defines the travel request, not the tournament application process. You apply and pay for the out-of-state tournament separately from, but in parallel with, the CYSA travel request. Forms needed for travel can be found at the CYSA website under Team Travel Forms.

No less than thirty (30) days prior the start of the tournament, the following items with all of the completed information must be submitted to the CYSA State Office for final approval. INCOMPLETE OR INCORRECTLY COMPLETED APPLICATIONS WILL BE RETURNED.

After ensuring that your team or organization is in good standing, CYSA will forward these documents to United States Soccer Federation for approval. After approval by USSF, a copy of the approved application will be returned to your team coach or manager. Upon request, the team must then forward a copy of the USSF approval to CYSA, in order to retrieve the approved travel roster. USSF will then notify the National Association of the country or countries to which your team is traveling, that your team is properly affiliated, and has permission to travel.
