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.
