WYOMING CUP & CHAMPIONSHIPS ON MAY 23-25, 2020 IS CANCELLED
Wyoming Soccer Association (WSA) remains committed to monitoring the constantly changing COVID-19 situation both in Wyoming and nationally. The WSA Board of Directors met on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 and voted to extend the suspension of organized soccer activity through May 4, 2020. Shortly thereafter, the host club's board of directors met, and felt it was in the best interest of the players and the Casper community to cancel the event. Wyoming Soccer fully supports them in their decision.
At this point, the governor has restricted social gatherings of 10 or more individuals through April 30, 2020. With registrations needing to be finalized by April 30th, the financial burdens that have been placed on families and the increased risk management and precautions that would be needed to put on an event the size and caliber of Wyoming Cup & Championships, we are united with the host club in their decision to cancel.
Please keep in mind, this does NOT mean that all soccer activities are cancelled. Our season officially ends on July 31, 2020, with the new season beginning August 1, 2020. The current mandates are as follows:
- The suspension of all WSA sanctioned soccer related activities has been set until May 4, 2020.
- While the suspension is in place there is no insurance coverage provided to any organizations or persons conducting activities (i.e. training, practice, games, etc.) during this suspension.
- The following state sanctioned events are cancelled:
- Casper Spring Jam
- Spring League Games
- Cody Shootout
- Snicker's Cup
- Wyoming Cup & Championships
- The following state sanctioned event is still on the calendar:
- Battle in the Springs - May 16-17, 2020 in Rock Springs
Over the past few weeks, the WSA staff and Board of Directors have remained steadfast and focused on doing everything in our abilities to keep our players, coaches and families engaged in the sport of soccer. To view some of the resources available to you, please click

As we head into this extended period without soccer, we want to sincerely thank you for all of your support. We remain committed to getting all our players, coaches, and referees back on the field as soon as we can...but, we must wait until we are confident it is safe to do so. There is no doubt we will play again but, in the meantime, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Please continue to be safe and thoughtful of others as we all work together to get back on the fields as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dan King
President
Wyoming Soccer Association
