HOW TO QUALIFY
Teams earn their spot at State by placing 1st or 2nd in an Official Qualifier Tournament or League (listed below.)
State Reps will attend many of our Qualifier Tournaments to award qualifying coaches with a golden ticket invitation to State.
All Qualifier Events are run by independent, community-based youth sports organizations. Register to support a local Qualifier near you!
