The Division I State Cup
Preliminaries and Division II State Cup will take place May 4-6, 2012 with the
Division I State Cup Final Four following May 11-13, 2012. All tournaments will
be held at the Jack Allen Recreation Complex.
Previous tournaments have produced
an economic impact of over $220K for the city of Decatur, bringing in athletes
and their families who stayed in local hotels, made purchases in gas stations
and convenience stores, and dined in restaurants over the course of two
weekends.
The Division I tournament is
a top level qualifying event with winners advancing to regional tournaments where an invitation to the US Youth Soccer National
Championships – the crown jewel of competitive youth soccer - is on the line.
The Division II tournament decides which teams are Division II state champions
and will represent Alabama in the USYSA Regional III President’s Cup which will
take place in Greensboro, North Carolina June 7-10, 2012.
AYSA is the governing body
for all soccer clubs in Alabama who qualify to participate in these events. For

The Jack Allen Recreation
Complex contains 10 international size lighted fields with laser-graded
