2013 TOURNAMENTS
The following is a list of tournaments across the state that have been sanctioned by Massachusetts Youth Soccer. In order to be considered a sanctioned tournament, the hosting organization must submit an Application to Host Tournament and supporting documentation to the Massachusetts Youth Soccer State Office and the application must be approved. The list of sanctioned tournaments will be updated on a regular basis.
Tournaments scheduled for the same dates are listed in the order in which the Tournament Hosts submitted their Application to Host a Tournament to Massachusetts Youth Soccer.
NOTE: Once a tournament has been played, the tournament listing will not be deleted. It will simply be dropped to the bottom of the list. In this manner we will keep a 12-month calendar/archive of the sanctioned tournaments in Massachusetts.

RECOMMENDED DEFINITIONS OF TEAMS
In the APPLICATION TO HOST A TOURNAMENT there is a column entitled “Type(s) of Team Accepted”. This designation is intended to identify the playing level of the teams that will be accepted to that tournament. All tournaments sanctioned by Mass Youth Soccer must use the US Youth Soccer team definitions in order to ensure consistency in how the terms are applied. These team classifications have recently been updated. In addition, the code depicting playing level is intended to ensure that no team is mismatched for the tournament in question. To review Section 2. of the U.S. Youth Soccer's POLICY ON HOSTING TOURNAMENTS OR GAMES please CLICK HERE.
Questions about the applicability of your team to the codes and descriptions provided must be directed to the Tournament Director of the tournament you are considering not to Mass Youth Soccer. 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.
The following descriptions correspond to the “Type(s) of Team Accepted” code that appears on the APPLICATION TO HOST A TOURNAMENT. If more than one code letter appears in the listing, it means that the tournament will accept teams representing all identified categories.

S1 generally a team which competes at the highest level of play in a state or region.
S2 generally a team which competes at other than the highest level of play in a state or region.
