State Cup registration for Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association is ending for this spring competition.

ENYYSA had an increased number of teams registering last year and the organization expects the number to continue to go up.

The State Open Cup is for the top teams and it’s the pathway to nationals.

The State Cup finals are set for June 3-4.

The Challenge Cup is for all teams at U-10 and U-11 as there is not a State Open Cup in those age groups. For U-12 to U-16, it’s for mid- to lower-tier teams. Boys and girls teams can register for the Challenge Cup by clicking here: https://system.gotsport.com/event_regs/4626939461

The registration deadline for U-12 to U-18 teams is Feb. 1. For more info, call the ENYYSA office at 516-766-0849.
