The long cold winter turned into the long cold and wet spring of 2011. It not only pushed back
the flowers from blooming and the trees from leafing out, it has also effected the Minnesota Youth
Soccer Association's State Cup. Because of weather delays many of the semi-finals and all of the
finals have been pushed back to this weekend.

The two state-wide competitions have registration deadlines quickly approaching. Last year one
Girls team (Missouri Elite FC U14 Girls) competed along with two Boys programs Springfield SC and
Total Demize in State Cup. Will your team compete?
The alternate choice is the President's Cup which offers a lower tier of competition but the
result is still an opportunity to move on to Regional competition and even a National
tournament.
