Grievance
Decision Reached
WYSA, with four other State Associations and US Youth Soccer were named in a
grievance before the USSF regarding inter-play and the opportunity for any USSF
member to play any other USSF member. One specific component of this
grievance referenced the opportunity for WYSA teams to play with non-USYSA
member teams. While WYSA policies were found to not be in violation of
USSF By-Laws, email communication of last year from Peter Mariahazy regarding
the ability/permission of WYSA teams to play non-USYSA teams was
incorrect. Please follow the link to read my memo regarding WYSA teams’
permission to play non-USYSA teams and the summary of the Arbitrator’s decision.
