Coastal A Cup and Provincial A Cup are open to those U14 to U18 VIPL League teams who have qualified and declared A Cup. The Island A Cup representative for both these tournaments is determined through the VIPL A Cup play-downs. One play-down series results in one winning team which competes at these two cup competitions - Coastal A Cup in April/May, and Provincial A Cup in July. 

Remember that once a team commits to A cup, they must play all games that they qualify for, up to and including Provincials.

If a team does not fulfill this commitment then it WILL be sanctioned by UISA/LISA and/or BCSA.
