The Arthur Ballner Trophy
The CVSA Cup traces its roots to the beginning of the CVSA, with
the first competition being held during the 1975-'76 season. The basic idea of the
competition is to have all teams in the league participate in one inclusive
tournament. It generally lasts from the fall to the spring, with games played
intermittently during the regular season. The tournament gives an opportunity for
lower division teams to test themselves against higher competition within the league.
The Cup is one of the four major titles awarded by the league in a calendar year.
The others are the Premier Division Spring Champion, Premier Division Summer
Champion, and Premier Division Fall Champion.
The trophy awarded to the winners is named for the late Arthur Ballner
of Deutscher Sportclub. Mr. Ballner is one of the pioneers of adult amateur
soccer in the Richmond area. In the late 1950's he led a group that started
playing pickup soccer games near Byrd Airport, and became Deutscher Sportclub
in 1960. Throughout the 1960's, he led the Deutscher Sportclub teams to play
in Washington, DC leagues on weekends, as their weren't enough players to support
a league in Richmond at the time. Their teams were good enough to win the DC
Second Division at one point. As the game grew in the Richmond area Mr. Ballner
branched off and founded the Internationals Soccer Club, the precursor to the
very first CVSA Champions in the 1975-'76 season, and winners of two of the
first three CVSA Cups. Mr. Ballner passed in 1972, three years before the founding
of the league, but his enthusiasm and love of the game laid the groundwork for
what is now the CVSA.
The Copa Bruce is named for longtime CVSA President S.
Bruce Williams, whose idea it was to give the lower division teams a legitimate chance in cup
competition. Mr. Williams led the coalition of community, business, & municipal groups who developed the
Bryan Park Soccer Complex in the mid-1990's, which the CVSA uses as their primary base of operations.
Mr. Williams is still an active player in the CVSA, as a leading offensive component for the
Lions Masters of the CVSA Veterans Division.
Lions 80 is the current holder of the CVSA Cup, winning the 2007 tournament
with a 3:2 victory over Metro Sting Masters in the championship game at Bryan Park
on May 20, 2007. This was Lions 80's first CVSA Cup title as they try to match clubmate Lions FC's 6 titles. The Copa Bruce is currently
held by Celtic FC I, who claimed the title over 3 Monkeys by winning a penalty kick shooutout 4:1 after a 2:2 draw could not be settled in 120 minutes of regulation or over time. This is the first cup
title for Celtic.
- Preliminary Round - September / October, 2007
All non-Coed divisions may opt out of CVSA Cup competition. In the Preliminary Round, enough teams will be drawn to reduce the
field of teams to 64. All teams choosing to participate from the six Premier Division, ten First Division, eleven Second
Division, eleven Third Division, eleven Fourth Division, eleven Fifth Division, eleven
Sixth Division, six Masters Division, eleven Veterans Division & six Women's
Division teams are eligible to be drawn for a Preliminary Round match. The teams will be randomly drawn against each other. Any games tied at the end of regulation will progress to two 15
minute Golden Goal Overtimes followed by kicks from the penalty spot to determine a winner.
Losers are eliminated from cup play for 2007-'08; any team forfeiting will
be subject to outlined penalties for forfeiture. The survivors will advance.
