The Postseason Every Tennessee Team Deserves

The TSSL State Cup is open to EVERY registered team, in EVERY age group. No qualifying required.

Every team. Every game counts. Overall State Cup Champions in EVERY age and EVERY division.

The TSSL State Cup is the centerpiece of our competitive calendar. It is not a reward reserved for top finishers — it is an experience built for every club, every coach, and every family in the league.

Guaranteed Pool Play

Every team enters the State Cup with a minimum of 3 guaranteed pool play games. No single-elimination first rounds, no one-and-done. Every team gets a full tournament experience.

Format

State Cup pool play of 3-games is played over one-weekend with a maximum of 4 weekends for teams advancing all the way to the finals

Elimination Rounds

Pool play results determine advancement into elimination brackets. From there, teams compete for the TSSL State Cup title in their division and age group. Real brackets. Real stakes.

Separate Division Brackets

Elite and Premier divisions compete in their own brackets at each age group. Every team competes at their level—and every division crowns a State Cup champion.
