The purpose of the Coppell Youth Soccer Association (“CYSA” or the “Association”) is to foster and advance youth soccer and to look out for the interests of its members. The program promotes the idea of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty and courage through organized athletic competition. The CYSA goal is to keep the soccer program exciting and concentrate on developing skills, teaching the game rules, cultivating team spirit, instilling respect for the officials, and preparing our players for the next level.
Boundary Lines

North Texas State Soccer Association
CYSA is a member of the North Texas State Soccer Association (“NTSSA”), which offers CYSA leadership, insurance, legal guidance, coach training, communications with other soccer associations, teams for our older teams to play, tournaments for all of our teams to play in and many other benefits.
Medical and Liability Insurance
NTSSA provides Accidental Medical and Liability Insurance for the players, coaches, and assistant coaches of participating teams. This insurance is supplemental to family health coverage and covers accidents occurring while participating in CYSA scheduled games and practices. It also provides liability insurance that covers CYSA coaches, assistant coaches, referees, volunteers, directors and officers.
Tax Exempt Status
NTSSA offers IRS group exemption to the member associations in providing our local association with tax-exempt status as defined in IRS 501(c)(3) status. This classifies the CYSA with tax-exempt status, and it allows tax-deductible donations. This benefit also eliminates initial filing fees and CPA fees associated with annual renewal filings.
