Kentucky Youth Soccer is pleased to announce a PUBLIC viewing of the 2008 Kentucky Youth Soccer State Open Cup Draw.  The event will be hosted on March 5 at 6:30pm at the following location:  Kentucky Indoor & Sports, 404 Sporting Court, Lexington, KY  40503.  Please note the event will be open to only ONE representative per team.  We would encourage any clubs with multiple registered teams to limit the number of representatives for the entire club.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the state office at StateOffice@KYSoccer.net Please check the links to the left to view the new updated policies for the 2008 Open Cup.  The new updated policies will be used to govern these events effective immediately. 

The biggest change for the State Open Cup is the policy regarding Performance Bonds required of all teams that enter the event.  The policy pertaining to Performance Bonds of each team is as follows:

Performance Bonds

A. Each member association or club will be responsible for submitting to the state office by May 1, a performance bond check for each team in it's club that participates in State Open Cup. Performance bond fee will be $500 per team.

B. This check will be returned to the club following the completion of state cup competition provided there is no misconduct by their teams or any persons associated with their team (parents, coaches, players, admins) throughout the competition. If a team or teams forfeit their performance bond Kentucky Youth Soccer will issue a refund check to the club less the forfeited performance bonds no later than June 30.

C. The State Cup Committee will determine misconduct by all teams and members associated with that team as well as the forfeiture of all bonds.

D. Failure to submit the performance bond check will result in disqualification of all teams from that member association or club from the Kentucky State Open Cup.
