Tournaments (Updated 2-1-2006)

Soccer tournaments are a great way to work a lot of games, meet new officials and generally have a good time.  Many will provide free or inexpensive lodging to out of town officials.


Most local tournaments are USSF youth tournaments and require USSF Level 8 Certification, unless otherwise noted.  The knock out stages of the youth State Cup usually will require that you be a USSF Level 7 or higher referee.  Teams are typically competitive travel teams, such as you would encounter in GVSA or the MSPSL, although most events welcome all teams under the USSF umbrella.  "Full Length" games means a tournament follows USSF recommendations (U10 = 50 minutes, U12 = 60 minutes, U14 = 70 minutes, U16= 80 minutes, U17+ = 90 minutes)


A complete list of all MSYSA sanctioned youth tournaments in Michigan is available at the MSYSA website.  Also check there for updated information.  The events listed below are all held in Michigan, or nationally.
