The 2025 State Tournament featured teams from throughout Kansas offering fresh competition for all squads.   Players hailed from 230 zip codes and 168 hometowns across the state. Check out the map above with all of the hometowns represented at State 2025! #SeeYouAtStateKS

All team rosters are verified by the State Eligibility Committee prior to tournament play. Last season, we reviewed over 21,000 Proof of Eligibility documents!

GRANDFATHER EXCEPTION:  Any player who participated in a prior State tournament is automatically approved for 2026 play and does not need to re-submit Proof of Eligibility (POE) documents.  However, ALL players, returning or not, are required to have a new Parent/Guardian Waiver submitted for 2026.

State Reps attend many of our Qualifier Tournaments to award top teams with their Gold Ticket invitation to State.
