FAQ

Bracketing/Team Selection

Q:  At what level should I enter my team?
A:  In U14 to U18 Divisions, the top level is Metro (BC Youth A Cup/Tier 2 Alberta), followed by Gold (BC Youth Cup B Cup/Tier 3 Alberta).  Any Tier 1 Alberta teams or BCSPL teams must play up a year.

In the U11 to U13 divisions, there are two tiers: #1 (generally strong, competitive teams, leading to Metro level play), #2 (leading to Gold level of play).  If you are in doubt, contact the KYSA office (between the hours of 9:00am and 2:00pm, Tuesday through Thursday) for further clarification.

U9/10 divisions – only one division for U9/10.  If you are a very strong U10 team then you may register at the U11 level of play.

General

Q:  When will the schedules be ready?
A:  The schedules will be published on the kysa.powerupsports.com website as soon as possible, usually in early May. An email will be sent to all teams when they are finalized. Keep in mind that for various reasons, some teams have to withdraw after the schedules have been finalized. The KYSA appreciates your patience as it reworks the schedule when such situations occur.  The schedule, results and standings may be accessed through the KYSA PowerUp website.

Registration

Q:  How do I submit my official team roster ?
A:  Official rosters for the tournament should be completed and submitted online via the PowerUp website. Rosters should be submitted on the Friday before the first games.  You may also be required to verify your online roster at registration.

What if I don’t have official ID cards for a member of my team?
While referees will not be checking ID cards, teams should be prepared to provide proof of age/registration if a player(s) is called into question. All players must be registered with their originating club and/or provincial association to ensure they are insured and eligible to play.

Q:  What levels of competition are offered?
A:  In coastal British Columbia, the “BC Soccer Select League” or “Metro League” as it used to be known, is the top level of play on the boys side. “Gold” is a level below BCSSL/Metro. In Interior British Columbia, “Rep” or “Select” teams generally compete at the higher levels, though Rep soccer in some regions is not as strong as others. Contact the KYSA office (between the hours of 9:00am and 2:00pm, Tuesday through Thursday) for further clarification.
