Teams earn their spot at the Great Lakes States by placing 1st or 2nd in an Official Qualifier Tournament or League (listed below.)

States Reps will attend many of our Qualifier Tournaments to award qualifying coaches with a golden ticket invitation to the Great Lakes States.

All Qualifier Events are run by independent, community-based youth sports organizations. Register to support a local Qualifier near you!
