OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Virginia State Cup brings together the highest quality teams across Virginia and the District of Columbia to decide who will be crowned the State Champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Virginia State Cup is an open cup, therefore any US Club Soccer, MLS Next, GA or VYSA teams can register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This competition aims to provide any teams and families a best-in-class experience by re-establishing a single state cup competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single elimination format is geared towards the most competitive teams and clubs in Virginia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the highly competitive teams in Virginia are playing in several league platforms and therefore do not play each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognition awards (chosen by the participating coaches) in each age group\/gender (from teams in Semi-Finals & Finals):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MVP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n
