ECSA CLASSIC PROGRAM


CLASSIC SOCCER OVERVIEW: (from the NCYSA Classic Handbook)

MISSION STATEMENT FOR CLASSIC SOCCER
It is the mission of the NCYSA classic program to provide an environment to foster at the highest level: age appropriate development of players who demonstrate talent and commitment with the desire to excel, and an appropriate level of team competition and the values of good sportsmanship to all who participate.

INTRODUCTION
The NCYSA Classic League, first introduced in the Spring of 1979, is a statewide league under the direction of the Executive Board (EX-BOD) position of Vice President Classic. The Assistant Director, Programs, administers the Classic Program at the NCYSA State Office.

The Classic Council represents the governing body for the Classic Program. The Council is made up of Presidents and/or Classic Liaisons of Associations who register Classic teams. The Council meets before Board of Directors meetings, makes recommendations for rules and policy changes and presents those changes to the full BOD. If you are interested in changing any portion of the Classic program, then you should contact your local Association President or Classic Liaison with your input.

Players wishing to play at the most competitive level possible (excluding State Select), for an extended period of time (usually 8-10 months) play Classic soccer. Players belonging to an NCYSA affiliated association may tryout for the team of their choice. That team, which must be affiliated with an NCYSA member association, then registers with NCYSA. The association will then approve the team's "intent to play" in order for the State to include that team in the Classic League schedule......

The complete "Classic Handbook" is available at the NCYSA website.
