Recommended Definitions of Teams In the above List of Sanctioned Tournaments, there is a column entitled “Eligible Teams”. This designation is intended to identify the playing level of the team that will be accepted to that tournament. All state association sanctioned tournaments use the US Youth Soccer team definitions in order to ensure consistency in how the terms are applied. In addition, the code depicting playing level is intended to ensure that no team is mismatched for the tournament in question.
Questions about the applicability of your team to the codes and descriptions provided must be forwarded to the Tournament Director of the tournament you are considering, and should not be forwarded to the state office. The following description corresponds to the Eligible Team Type code that appears in that column. If more than one code letter appears in the listing, it means that the tournament will accept teams representing all identified categories. In addition, coaches or team managers are encouraged to check the “Type(s) of Teams Accepted” column in the Application to Host a Tournament form when considering out-of-state tournaments. | Code | Key | | A | Intra-Club Tournament Team: a team which is put together for the sole purpose of playing in a tournament or other sanctioned non-league competition, whose roster includes only players who are members of one club. | | B | Inter-Club Tournament Team: a team which is put together for the sole purpose of playing in a tournament or other sanctioned non-league competition, whose roster includes players who are members of more than one club. | | C | Recreational Team: a team which participates in a RECREATIONAL LEAGUE. | | D | Recreational Plus Team: a team which participates in a RECREATIONAL PLUS LEAGUE. | | E | Recreational All-Star Team: an INTRA-CLUB TOURNAMENT TEAM whose roster only includes players selected from teams which participate in the same RECREATIONAL or RECREATIONAL PLUS LEAGUE. | | F | Classic Team: a team which participates in a CLASSIC LEAGUE. | | G | League Team: a team which participates in regularly scheduled league play. | | H | Premier Team: a team which participates in a PREMIER LEAGUE. | | I | Select Team: the official SELECT (all-star) TEAM of US Youth Soccer, any of its regions, a State Association, an Affiliate, other Organization Member, or any district or geographical subdivisions thereof, or any league. | | J | Other: attached description of team if it does not fit any of the above definitions. | |  |  |
