Hagerstown Area Youth Soccer League (HAYSL) is pleased to invite you and your team to participate in The 2009 Antietam Cup. This tournament is an AYSO sanctioned event, and only registered AYSO players can participate. No select or allstar teams will be allowed. In order to ensure a quality tournament experience is had by all who participate, we will be limiting the number of teams in each division. It is for this reason that I encourage you to act on this opportunity without delay.

A separate check in the amount of $150.00 as your tournament fee. Fully completed referee registration form. A separate check in the amount of $150.00 as your referee deposit.
The completed applications must be received and reviewed by the Tournament Committee prior to official acceptance for participation in The Antietam Cup. Letters of acceptance and a tournament information packet will be e-mailed to those teams on or before June 4, 2009. Teams that withdraw their participation prior to June 1, 2009 will be returned their entry fee and referee deposit. Any team that withdraws from The Antietam Cup after letters of acceptance have been mailed will forfeit their entry fee. Team rosters must be presented at registration where review of required forms and information will take place. A team's failure to complete the registration process as prescribed will be disqualified from participation in the tournament and forfeits their participation fee.
We look for this to be a very fun and competitive event. On behalf of the Antietam Cup Tournament Committee, I would like to thank you for your consideration in our tournament.
