the area and with ample parking spaces for teams, referees, tournament officials, spectators, media and VIP’s.

each competition site. Furthermore, the host organization must provide equipment, supplies, etc. at each
competition site and cover all associated costs for these items.

representative(s), as part of the selection process, will conduct site visits to the qualified venue(s), as needed. Site
visits deemed necessary by the California Youth Soccer Association staff are to be coordinated with the bidding
organization(s) and all direct expenses are to be covered by the bidding organization(s) (e.g. mileage, hotel, per
diem, etc.).
Based on the proposal(s) submitted and site visit(s) conducted, final decisions will be made by the California Youth
Soccer Association State Office.
Once a decision is made, California Youth Soccer Association will advise the Host of their winning bid. The hosts
who are awarded the event are required to enter into a Hosting Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding
outlining the responsibilities of the Host.
