No U-19 State Cup in 2011???

Hi CoronaBob!
After careful review and consideration, it was decided that we not have the U19's at the Championship level this year.  If we have enough interested teams, they might be able to play in the Challenge Cup. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Alot of folks might not think this is a big deal, but I know a group of young men that had made plans of getting back together next year to defend their U-18 state championship.
2 out of the 4 national champions from WA have been in the U-19 age group.
Why do we feel the need to change everything?

If this is true, it really sucks for those kids that are Seniors in HS but have to play U19.

I've (kinda) always thought that they should do away with ages at about U16 and just have teams sorted by divisions and call them all U19.
