Past Major Champions

The CVSA has four major championships it awards each calendar year, the competitions for which are open to all member teams. These titles are: Premier Division Spring Champion, Premier Division Summer Champion, Premier Division Fall Champion, & CVSA Cup Champion.

After the 1993-'94 season, two changes were made: (1.) The top division was re-named the Premier Division, where it had been known as the First Division from the league's inception in 1975; and (2.) Instead of one long regular season stretching from September to May, the regular season was split into fall & spring sessions, each crowning a separate champion.

The following are the recorded holders of the CVSA's major championships since the league's inception in the fall of 1975:

The CVSA, throughout its history has conducted competitions in divisions other than the Premier. From sometime after the Fall '75 season through the Spring '94 season, the CVSA consisted of only the Premier and First Divisions (then called "First" & "Second"). With the strong growth of soccer both in central Virginia and nationwide, the CVSA grew, necessitating the addition of a Second Division in Spring '96, and then a Third Division in Fall '96. While participation in the Second & Third Divisions was sporadic at first, the four-division format has been consistent since the Summer '98 season. A Masters Division (30+), Veterans Division (40+), Coed Division, and Women's Division have all been attempted, with varying degrees of success since then.

With the steady growth also came greater disparity in skill level. The CVSA Cup had always been a random-drawn affair amongst the entire league. The unappetizing prospect of a lower Division team being drawn against a Premier Division team led to (1.) Premier Division teams receiving early-round byes, and (2.) the creation of the Copa Bruce. The Copa Bruce started for the 1999-'00 season as an outlet for lesser-skilled teams to compete successfully in a cup format. It is named for longtime CVSA President and Honorary Lifetime Member S. Bruce Williams, as his foresight created this competition.
