Third-annual Washington Cup is part of exciting lineup of spring events

For the first time, Washington Cup winners receive a free entry into the US Club Regionals -- an $800 value.

The unique two-legged Cup competition more than doubled its size last year and we expect to see even more teams register for this year’s contest. Also new this year: East and West teams will qualify in their own regions and then compete against each other in the finals.

What’s more, teams can opt to play either in the Puget Sound or Eastern Washington qualifying tournaments regardless of whether the team is from eastern or western Washington. U11 to U14 teams now have the flexibility to select a first-round date that works better for their calendar.

All older boys and girls teams -- regardless of geographic location -- will play their qualifying games at Starfire March 30-Apr 1.

The Washington Cup is open to all teams and clubs regardless of affiliation.

Registration deadline is now set at: March 4.

Winners also automatically receive invitations to Mustang Stampede or the Santa Clara Invitational -- two top-flight regional California tournaments. Dates of the competitions:

• Puget Sound Qualifying tournament: March 30-Apr 1.
• Eastern Washington Qualfiying tournament: April 13-15
• Final Championship Round: April 27-29.

  The Washington Cup is part of a strong lineup of innovative leagues and tournaments the PSPL is offering this spring. The Dev League is the only league that offers young competitive teams the opportunity to play 8 v 8 or 9 v 9 -- the perfect transition for the bigger game.

  Other PSPL events include: Spring League, the Inland NW Copa League and Pacific Coast Super Cup.

PSPL clubs and teams have more competitive options than any league in the state. What’s more, PSPL leagues offer winners top regional and national incentives to reach the next level of play-- free US Club Regionals and National Cup registration and invitations to the Slammers Futbol Classic, Mustang Stampede and Santa Clara Invitational.
