Sanctioned Tournaments
Sanctioned tournaments are offered by associated Clubs but are not run by the STX Youth Soccer State Office. Sanctioned Tournaments would be verified as US Youth Soccer Events where player insurance would be covered. Here you’ll find links and information on how to register for sanctioned tournaments, as well as information on past events.
If you’re looking to order awards and commemorative materials for your upcoming event, use our Tournament Checklist from Wilson Trophy to help plan and place your order!
