 GENERAL INFORMATION
This tournament is open to all U13–U19 competitive teams. The US Youth Soccer Minnesota State Cup is a tournament designed to select the Minnesota league team at each age level and gender to represent Minnesota at the US Youth Soccer Region II Championships. Regional winners will go on to compete in the US Youth Soccer National Championships.
Each year a State Cup Committee is formed by the MYSA Tournament Director/ Minnesota State Cup Chair. This Committee reviews the previous year’s format and makes recommendations for the following year. The recommendations are presented to the Youth Council for endorsement. All information will be posted here.
ATTENTION: Potential 2009 US Youth Soccer Minnesota State Cup Teams (U13 and U14 only)
The Minnesota State Cup, the first leg of the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, must comply with the Policy on US Youth Soccer National Championships 2008–2009 for team and player eligibility. These policies are more stringent than the MYSA Policies and Rules for player eligibility. MYSA cannot make any exceptions to these rules during National Championship Series competition.
As registration draws near for the 2008 Fall season, those U13 and U14 teams interested in competing in the 2009 Minnesota State Cup need to be familiar with the US Youth Soccer National Championships transfer rules and how they apply when registering for the 2008 Fall season. If you have any desire to compete in the Minnesota State Cup and are unsure of how this can affect your eligibility, please contact Kelli Donohoo, MYSA Manager of Programs, at kellidonohoo@mnyouthsoccer.org for further details.

In an effort to reward teams with exemplary sportsmanship, the referees evaluated coach, player and fan behavior during each game. A score of 1–4 was given in ten different categories ranging from, “players demonstrating respect for teammates, officials and opponents” to “coaches encouraging their players not berating them”. The teams with the highest points are the 2008 State Cup Fair Play Award Winners. Congratulations to those teams listed below.
