Member Hosted Tournaments.

Each year, more than 30 tournaments are organized and hosted by member organizations with approval from Kentucky Youth Soccer. The following tournaments are officially sanctioned by Kentucky Youth Soccer and are organized by our member organizations. These tournaments encompass both recreational and competitive play and are typically open to all teams that meet the tournament’s entry criteria. To learn more about these affiliate-sponsored tournaments, please reach out to the respective tournament contacts listed below.

How to Sanction Your Tournament

If you would like to host a tournament in your association, you can follow the following procedure:

• Fill out the Tournament Sanctioning Form and return it to lisaduvall@kysoccer.net or chastityday@kysoccer.net with the name and contact information of your referee assignor.  In addition to submitting the sanctioning form, you will need to mail in the tournament sanctioning fee – the sanctioning fee varies by event. Please note that at this time we are only accepting payments by check.

Attn: Tournament Sanctioning

Lexington, KY 40507

•  Please note that the tournament WILL NOT show up on the member-hosted tournament page until Kentucky Youth Soccer receives the approval fee. 
• If you are inviting teams from outside the United States you must complete the US Soccer Federation’s Application to Host Foreign Teams. Copies of the form must be obtained from the USSF and must be completed in addition to the above US Youth forms.
• The completed application plus the US Youth Soccer and USSF (if international teams are invited) must be returned to the Kentucky Youth Soccer State Office together with a check for the tournament approval fee.
• The fee for state approval is equal to the highest entry fee charged to any team applying to the tournament. For example, if you charge $300 for U9-U10, $325 for U10-U14, and $350 for U15-U19, your fee would be $350. An additional check for $50 made out to US Soccer is required if foreign teams are invited.
