General Program Information for the Kewaunee County Youth Soccer Association (KCYSA)
Established in 1995, KCYSA is an affiliate of the Soccer Association for Youth (SAY) whose simple philosophy is: kids are playing soccer to HAVE FUN! To meet this goal, KCYSA offers recreational league play for Kewaunee County youth ages 6 - 18 (U8-U19) and exhibition play for ages four & five (Bumble Bees).
Run entirely by volunteers, KCYSA is co-educational and open to youth of all abilities. No experience is necessary to play on a team! Every player plays at least one half of every game. Games (usually once a week) are played from early June through early August. Practices, usually once week, are scheduled by coaches and start on or after May 15 for U8-U19 teams. Bumble Bees usually start by the first week of the season.
Teams in U8 - U19 are chosen in a blind draw according to community (Algoma, Kewaunee, Luxemburg), age, gender and player rating. This ensures that the teams are as balanced as possible. Our SAY Area covers Kewaunee County. Players living within another SAY District or Area may play in KCYSA with written permission from the SAY Area/District in which he/she lives. A player may only play in one SAY Area/District and on only one team within that Area/ District during the same season.
Because KCYSA is a recreational (rec.) league, team standings are not published throughout the year. Win-loss records are recorded for the soul purpose of awarding the SAY-issued league championship patch at the end of the year. After the regular season ends, the teams in the U10-U19 divisions participate in our year-end tournament where 1st and 2nd places in each age group for the tournament are recognized. A Sportsmanship award is also give to the team in each age group U8 - U19 whose players, spectators and coaches exhibit positive sportsmanship throughout the entire season. ALL players recieve a participant trophy or medal at the end of the season.

Ethics Code
It is your responsibility to understand that the Ethics Code pertains to you, your friends and family watching the game, and your child, the player. THIS WILL BE ENFORCED. A child may not play if both the parent and the player do not sign the code of ethics. Your child's coach will have you and the player sign the code of ethics prior to the first game.
WIAA Players
If your child plays WIAA soccer, he/she cannot participate in KCYSA soccer until the WIAA season is complete for him/her. They will be assigned to a team, but will not be able to practice or play a game until they are done with WIAA. We are working with the schools involved to make sure we are aware of their schedules. If your child does play KCYSA soccer while also playing WIAA soccer, the WIAA games will have to be forfeited.
