After an incredibly competitive spring season, the Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) officially crowned its State Cup Champions this past weekend at the Richard Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro. Girls champions were determined in the 12U-19U age groups for all three divisions of play, along with boys teams in the 12U-14U age brackets.
“This year was one for the record books,” said Jeannie Louk, TSSA Director of Leagues and Programs. “Excitement on and off the field. We had it all. Signing the bracket boards as each team advanced, 37 champion teams raising the Cup and honoring our elite referees who were chosen for the final games. We could not have asked for a better ending to the season. Good luck to all the teams advancing to Southern Presidents Cup and Southern Regionals. I know they will represent TN well!”

The competition is part of the USYS National Championships Presented by New York Life, which is the country’s most prestigious national youth soccer tournament. Champions at the Division 2 level will continue onto regional play in the USYS Southern Presidents Cup next month in Plano, Texas. The USYS Presidents Cup provides a progressive and competitive environment to teams that might not otherwise get the opportunity to participate in a series of unique experiences highlighting competition, camaraderie and community.
