Kentucky Presidents Cup
The US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup is designed for teams seeking additional challenges to play against teams of similar abilities for the ultimate goal of State, Regional, and National titles. The cup provides a progressive, competitive experience to teams that might not otherwise get the opportunity to participate in a series of unique experiences highlighting competition, camaraderie, and community from the state to regional to national levels of US Youth Soccer.
This competition is designed for 13U-19U teams that generally don’t compete with teams in National or Regional leagues or with other premier-level teams. The Presidents Cup is for teams that want to compete for a State Championship but not at the highest level of play. Teams have the option to enter either the State Open Cup or the Presidents Cup, but may not enter both. Teams that compete in any National or Regional Leagues (including club v. club) as well as teams that finished in the top 4 of the previous year’s State Open Cup or KPL Division are not eligible to compete in the Presidents Cup. See fully updated rules below.
