Dear Coach or League Administrator,

THANK YOU for registering in the 2008 Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association’s KOHL’S AMERICAN CUP.  The Syosset Soccer Club is proud to once again host this prestigious Tournament. 

As you requested, we have registered your team(s) for our tournament:   Please click on the “Teams Registered” link on our tournament website to verify gender & age group of your team. If there is an error please notify me immediately at dskorka@syossetsoccer.org.

We have tried to create balanced divisions by grouping teams by skill levels.  In addition, we have tried to make the draw as fair as possible.  With over 160 teams registering this is a mammoth effort.  Please understand that there may be some unavoidable circumstances where teams of unequal abilities have been matched together.

Please make sure your roster information is correct and all of your player’s birth dates fall within tournament guidelines and are eligible for the appropriate division.  Changes cannot be made once our schedule is finalized.

There will be a mandatory coaches meeting on Tuesday night, October 7th at H.B. THOMPSON MIDDLE SCHOOL in Syosset.  You can come anytime between 7:30 and 9 p.m.  It is necessary for you to attend this meeting.

At the time of the meeting, you will be required to bring:

• Roster form for each team – completed (to be turned in)
• A valid Birth Certificate or other legal proof of age for each child participating on your team (retain for tournament)
• Medical waiver form for each child (retain for tournament)

Blank rosters and medical releases are posted to our website which you can download by clicking on the below link. 

Tournament Teams

All information including schedules, directions, field maps, and rules will be posted on the website.  We will also answer any last minute questions you may have.

We are looking forward to meeting each and every one of you!  THANKS for your participation!
