How TSSL Works

A complete competitive structure from U8 through U19, with two divisions, regional scheduling, and a State Cup open to every team so that teams can play teams from other regions within TN to challenge for the overall TN STATE CUP CHAMPION! Teams from the Elite Division in the U13-U19 age groups will qualify to participate at the US CLUB SOCCER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Age Groups & Divisions

Full Boys and Girls U8-U19 Competitive Schedules

TSSL provides a complete competitive home for every age group in your club. From the youngest players taking their first steps in organized competition to high school players chasing a national pathway, TSSL has a division designed for them.

DIVISIONS AT EVERY AGE GROUP

Elite Division — Top-tier competition. The highest level of TSSL play, with the National 1 League pathway for standout teams.

Premier Division — Strong second-tier competition. Fully competitive, with the same structure and format as Elite.

Both divisions carry equal standing as competitive brackets. Every team is here to compete.

Scheduling Philosophy

Play in Your Region

Regular-season scheduling in TSSL is built around Tennessee’s geography. Teams compete within their regional grouping — East, Middle, or South/East Tennessee — keeping travel reasonable, rivalries meaningful, and weekends manageable for families.

This is what it looks like when a league is designed for the people in it.
