Massachusetts Youth Soccer hosts the Massachusetts State Cups Tournament each year. This tournament brings together some of the best teams in Massachusetts. Competition is held in the Under 13 through the Under 19 year old age groups for both boys and girls. The winner of each age/gender grouping is declared the State Champion and goes on to represent Massachusetts in the US Youth Soccer Region 1 Championships. Regional winners will then go on to play in the US Youth National Championships.
Every team who has 50% of its players as Massachusetts residents is eligible to enter, provided they meet certain eligibility requirements as set forth in the US Youth Soccer National Championship policies. For Teams must also compete in a state approved qualifying league. For Massachusetts Youth Soccer Team Eligibility Requirements for State Cup 2013, CLICK HERE.
An entry form is required each year and teams must pay the required entry fee.
Once all teams have declared, all teams are “seeded” based upon previously established criteria. Based upon the number of declared entries in an age/gender group, single elimination games (Challenge Rounds through round 2) are held in the September and October time frame for U13 and U14 age groups, and the April and May time frame for all other age groups. The objective is to reduce the field to a group of eight (8) teams for the round robin competition in the U13 - U19 age groups.
