The Tennessee State Soccer Association is part of a much larger soccer community.  TSSA is a proud member of the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA), United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA), United States Soccer Federation (USSF), and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).

US YOUTH SOCCER
The United States Youth Soccer Association, the largest youth sport organization in the country, is on a mission to make soccer the preeminent youth sport in the country.  US Youth Soccer registers nearly 3 million players annually, ages 5 to 19. Through its programming, resources and leadership, US Youth Soccer is advancing the game for its 55 Member State Associations, 10,000 clubs and leagues and nearly 1 million administrators, coaches and volunteers. US Youth Soccer connects families and communities to the power of sports and its shared love of soccer. US Youth Soccer provides a path for every player, offering programs that provide a fun, safe and healthy environment for players at every level of the game.

US Youth Soccer is the largest youth affiliate and member of U.S. Soccer, the governing body for soccer in the United States.

TSSA is a member of the United States Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer) and the United States Adult Soccer Associatoin (USASA).  US Youth Soccer is the largest member organization within the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), and USASA is the largest member organization for adult soccer in the United States.  Both US Youth Soccer and USASA are organized into four Regions; TSSA is part of Region III.

From its humble beginnings in 1974 with just more than 100,000 registered players to its current registration of more than 3,000,000 players between the ages of five and nineteen, US Youth Soccer has always been recognized as a leader in youth sports organizations.  US Youth Soccer is the largest member of the United States Soccer Federation, the governing body for soccer in the United States, and is comprised of over 600,000 volunteers and administrators, and over 300,000 dedicated coaches, most of whom also are volunteers.

US Youth Soccer provides a healthy activity through its recreational and small-sided game programs.  These programs emphasize fun and de-emphasize winning at all costs.  Every child is guaranteed playing time, and the game is taught in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere.

USYS provides a fun, safe and healthy game for all kids. This includes big kids, little kids, tall kids, short kids, young kids, older kids, kids who want to play for one season, kids who want to play for twenty seasons, kids who play strictly for fun and kids who want to compete at the highest level possible. Kids are different, and because they are different, their physical, social and psychological needs are different.  US Youth Soccer recognizes this, and their programs are aimed at meeting the different needs of all kids.

US Youth Soccer National Championship Series
Each summer US Youth Soccer crowns a boys and girls national champion in each of its seven age divisions (13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U, 18U and 19U).  The finals are a culmination of a year-long series of competitions at the state and regional levels known as the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series which provides approximately 185,000 players on 10,000 teams from US Youth Soccer's 55 State Associations the opportunity to showcase their soccer skills against the best competition in the nation.

The Tennessee State Championships is open to any properly registered team aged U13 – U19 in our Division 1 (most competitive) League.  Qualification is through our Division 1 State League or Midsouth Conference.  The Boys State Cup is held in the Fall, while the Girls State Cup is held in the Spring.
