September 17, 2025-Halloween is more treat than trick when it comes to State Cup registration in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA). That’s because teams receive a discount if they register by October 31, 2025.
The State Open Cup is for the top teams and it’s the pathway to Nationals. There are no Regionals anymore and State Cup champion teams go directly to Nationals. Click on the links below to register.
Under-12 to Under-17 team registration, both boys and girls, is $400 this month and $500 after.
Under-18/19 registration, both boys and girls, is $400 in September and October and $500 after.
The Challenge Cup is for all teams at Under-10 and Under-11 as there is not a State Open Cup in those age groups. For Under-12 to Under-16, it’s for mid- to lower-tier squads. It’s $250 per team when you register by Halloween, $300 when you register after that.
For more info about the State Open Cup or Challenge Cup being played in the spring of 2026, please phone the ENYYSA office at 516-766-0849.
With over 100,000 youth soccer players––both boys and girls––and more than 25,000 volunteers, the non-profit Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) stretches from Montauk Point, Long Island to the Canadian border. Members are affiliated with 10 leagues throughout the association, which covers the entire state of New York east of Route 81. ENYYSA exists to promote and enhance the game of soccer for children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 19 years old, and to encourage the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators. All levels of soccer are offered––from intramural, travel team and premier players as well as Children With Special Needs. No child who wants to play soccer is turned away. ENYYSA is a proud member of the United States Soccer Federation and US Youth Soccer. For more information, please log on to http://www.enysoccer.com/
