Format
The Jamboree follows a round-robin format in which each team plays three 30-minute games. U9 games are played 7v7 and U8 games are played 5v5.
We ask that families plan to spend at least 3.5 hours at the field, arriving 30 minutes before the first game.
Limited Space
Team capacity is limited to create balanced divisions for each age group and gender in the U8 & U9 brackets. Acceptance is first-come, first-served, and capacity is limited to ensure balanced divisions by age and gender. Register early to secure your team’s spot.
Teams will receive confirmation of registration email AND a follow-up confirmation email once the team is officially accepted into the Jamboree. SYSA will follow-up with emails pertaining to roster accuracy and game-day expectations. Please do not email us with a list of roster adjustments.

-
The Jamboree is an all-day event, with games starting around 8:30 am and ending around 6:00 pm.
We ask that families plan to spend at least 3.5 hours at the field, arriving 30 minutes before the first game. Our goal is to provide each team with three 45-minute game slots (30 minutes play time and 15 minutes of transition) and one 45-minute break somewhere in between. Due to the logistics of scheduling, there will be teams whose schedule does not fit this format.
We encourage families to hang out, patronize the food trucks, and enjoy watching the action!

Schedules will be posted to the SYSA website (https://www.sysa.org/) on or before November 6.

Teams should arrive 30 minutes before their first game for check-in with SYSA staff. SYSA will provide a copy of the official ACJ roster. Players and coaches not listed on the roster cannot participate.
U8 teams require a minimum of 4 players to start the game; U9 teams require a minimum of 5 players to start the game. Games must begin on time due to scheduling capacity on the field. Delays will result in shorter games or, in the case of a lack of players, a forfeit.
