About What is ECOLEX? ECOLEX is an information service on environmental law, operated jointly by FAO, IUCN and UNEP. Its purpose is to build capacity worldwide by providing the most comprehensive possible global source of information on environmental law . This unique resource, which combines the environmental law information holdings of FAO, IUCN and UNEP, seeks to put this information at the disposal of users world-wide, in an easily accessible service, employing modern technology. The ECOLEX database includes information on treaties, international soft-law and other non-binding policy and technical guidance documents, national legislation, judicial decisions, and law and policy literature. Users have direct access to the abstracts and indexing information about each document, as well as to the full text of most of the information provided. What is now available on the web (www.ecolex.org) owes much to a project funded by the Dutch government, which ascertained the feasibility of a joint service, and set the stage for the implementation of the resulting partnership between FAO, IUCN and UNEP. This joint service is now being further refined and developed by the three partners to best meet the needs of the user. Why ECOLEX? Environmental law has, over the past thirty years, become a recognized legal discipline, and a major tool for the achievement of environment and natural resources management, in the context of sustainable development. Within this field, there has been a significant growth in multilateral and bilateral agreements, national legislation, international "soft law" documents, and law and policy literature, as well as related jurisprudence and court decisions. Yet, much of this wealth of information is difficult to access, even for those whose profession is to develop and implement national legal mechanisms in the field. There are two causes for this difficulty: first, there is limited knowledge about the existence and location of this information; second, even when this information is available, access is limited. This is particularly the case in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, where government officials, practitioners, environmental managers, non-profit institutions and academia lack easy access to the legal information they need for developing the necessary legal tools to promote environmental management. The need for such services is illustrated in the constantly growing number and variety of requests for data, and for assistance in locating information on specific environmental law topics, which FAO, IUCN and UNEP receive from governments, academia, including NGOs, companies and members of the public. Why FAO, IUCN and UNEP? -- a bit of history The FAO Legal Office has developed FAOLEX, a database of references to national legislation linked to electronic versions of their texts. Selected texts of major significance pertaining to FAO's mandate, including legislation on agriculture, energy, environment, fisheries, food, forestry, land, livestock, mineral resources, plants, water, wild fauna and flora, are summarized and indexed in the database. Access to the summary, index and full text of each piece of legislation is provided. IUCN Environmental Law Centre (ELC) created a comprehensive information system on environmental law (ELIS) in the 1960's. ELIS, which was one of the first computerized legal information system, evolved into a large set of references to treaties, national legislation, soft law and legal literature, linked to documents held in the libraries of the ELC for the IUCN Environmental Law Programme. It continues to be one of the main assets of the capacity building activities of the IUCN Environmental Law Programme, as well as a constant source of expertise for the work of the Programme in the fields of law development, technical assistance, and expertise building. UNEP, for the past thirty years UNEP has provided leadership to the development and implementation of global and regional international environmental agreements, the strengthening of national environmental legislation and capacity building in the field of environmental law. This work which has been undertaken within the framework of the Governing Council decisions relating to the Development and Review of Environmental Law, and has led to the collection of a very significant amount of legal materials in electronic and hardcopy form, which have been made available by UNEP to ECOLEX. To join forces and combine the strength of the three organizations therefore made eminent sense, and while cooperation in this field between UNEP and IUCN was firstly mandated by the Governing Council of UNEP in 1995, it is in 2001 that a partnership Agreement was signed by FAO, IUCN and UNEP for the integration of their data, and of FAOLEX into ECOLEX. The resulting combined information resource is the largest available on environmental law globally, with over hundred thousand references to relevant documents already being available on the web. The Overall Objectives ECOLEX must be maintained, refined and further developed with a view to serving the end users as efficiently as possible. In this context, the long-term objectives of ECOLEX in building capacity worldwide are as follows: Maintain, refine and develop the environmental law databank and its related information and resources; Present these data in a user-friendly format, facilitating searches for references and full texts through the development of multilingual retrieval possibilities (English, French, Spanish); Provide global access to the database in an efficient and cost-effective manner; Address the special needs and access problems of users; Develop a distributed network of associates, at regional and national level; Develop special ECOLEX products and services aimed at increasing knowledge and building capacity in environmental law at the local, national and regional levels; and Expand the consortium of partners of ECOLEX.

Each location possesses certain unique qualities that make that place special, and we bring those qualities out in our programs.

We are extremely pleased to annouce that CUSA Crew SC has been accepted into the Super Y-League for the 2018 season.What is Super Y-League?:Affiliated with US Soccer and partnered with US Club Soccer, the league is the Super Y-League is a USL run summer league designed for talented youth players destined for professional or international careers. Through Olympic Development (ODP) status programs and events such as the North American Finals and National ODP Camps, the nation’s top players are selected for US National Team Programs. The league is made up of a series of regional leagues within the framework of a North American league containing the top clubs and players from the United States and Canada.Schedule:The regular season will consist of 10-12 matches depending on the playing division and age group. The total point leader within the division will culminate the season with the Super Y-League North American Finals, which will consist of a minimum four games.Season Dates (our season will begin in late May/early June):Tryouts for Super Y-League teams will be held in early Spring in the February time frame. The regular season will be from May through August. We will avoid most major events such as State Cup, ODP camps etc. The Super Y-League North American Finals will be held in December at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL.Super-Y Tryout DatesTry-Outs : February 3,4,10,11 @ Alumni Stadium 192 W Franklin St, Centerville, OH 45459 (behind Magsig Middle School)10.00-11.15 am : Boys and Girls born in 2007 and 200611.15-12.30 pm : Boys and Girls born in 2005 and 200412.30-1.45 pm : Boys and Girls born in 2003 and 20021.45-3.00 pm : Boys and Girls born in 2001, 2000 and 1999Super-Y Tryout RegistrationClick on this link: SUPER-Y League Tryout RegistrationWhat does the Super Y-League mean to player development at CUSA Crew SC?This is all about what’s called "professionalizing" player development in the United States and Canada when it comes to the top-level youth players. It is about allowing the cream to rise to the top, thereby simplifying the process of identifying elite level players. It is about playing top-level soccer 12 months a year, with the spotlight on young players during the Super Y-League season. The focus is less than one percent of all youth players in the U.S. and Canada. Because of the elite level of play and the summer schedule we expect to field teams with significant representation from other clubs in Southwest Ohio. This league is absolutely "not for everyone", but adding it, on top of our recent NPL league entry. provides an MLS Academy, or near MLS Academy experience for top area players (and for both the boys and the girls) without having to leave the Dayton area. Together with the NPL teams we have recently added it rounds out our offerings for the most elite players in the area and helps continue to position CUSA Crew SC as one of the leading youth player development clubs in the Midwest.What makes the Super Y-League different from what national youth governing associations, such as US Youth Soccer, are already providing on the local or regional level? The Super Y-League has teams that are much broader in geographical scope, and because of that, they play at a higher level. Even the current number of super leagues in the country is localized in terms of their members. The Super Y-League is organized on a divisional level, to include only the top teams within a limited geographical area.Again, we would like to reiterate that the Super Y-League is designed specifically for the elite level player, a player that competes in a club that wants the extra five to ten percent that they can only get in the Super Y-League. Hence, the expanded roster sizes, no recruiting restrictions, and the club pass system. The Super Y-League ODP Philosophy: To identify players for U.S. National Team Programs, within their natural environment during competition on their club team during the Super Y-League season.Purpose:The Super Y-League ODP system began in 2003 to identify a pool of players in each age group of the league for identification to U.S. National Team Programs; and to utilize the clubs system in the United States to identify players. What are the Benefits of Participating in the Super Y-League ODP system?1. Selection of players within the natural environment on their club teams within league play, as opposed to an open try-out system. Many players do not participate in the open-tryout ODP system operated by state associations. Some players do not react or perform well in an open tryout process.2. Exposure to U.S. National Staff and Team Coaches.3. Exposure to professional and collegiate scouts.4. No cost to be scouted. The scouting system is built into league play and contains no ODP fees, other than those selected to the ODP Select Camps in January and February.U12-U18 Player Cost: $400-$500 (TBD)Cost Includes the Following: Registration/Player Passes Training Fees 2-3 nights of training Coaching Fees Referee Fees Game Fees 10-12 Matches (U12-U18 teams) June-July Possibly one or two summer tournaments------DOES NOT include limited coach and player travel expenses or post-season play------CUSA Crew SC will be forming the following teams:U11/U12 Boys and Girls 2006/2007 birth yearsU13/U14 Boys and Girls 2004/2005 birth yearsU15/U16 Boys and Girls 2002/2003 birth yearsU17/U18 Boys and Girls 2001/2000 birth yearsWhat about conflicts with High School training and ODP? CUSA Crew SC is working in concert with Ohio South, ODP, and area high schools to eliminate conflicts wherever possible so players can participate in both ODP and High School training if they choose. CUSA Crew SC intends to utilize only coaches with USSF "B" licensce or greater for the SUper Y teams with the intention that all training they will receive will exceed that available in any other existing program. In addition the OSHAA 5 player rule does not apply during the Super Y season between June 1st and July 31st.More detailed information on the Super Y league may be found here: 2017 Super Y League Overview
