Ohio Presidents Cup

All teams are accepted into the tournament who meet the league eligibility requirements as long as we receive your registration AND payment in our office by the deadline date. Some Teams may be seeded and then we would do a double blind draw for the remaining teams in the bracket. Play-in Games will be played as self schedules prior to the Round Robin weekend to get to even brackets of 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 teams.

The maximum number of players on the event roster for 9v9 is 18.  Only 16 players may be game active and dress for each game.  The maximum number of players on the event roster for 11v11 is 22.  For 11v11, a maximum of 18 players may be listed as game active.

Club pass players may play in Presidents Cup if they are approved on the team’s Presidents Cup Event roster.  Players can only appear on one event roster for all State tournaments(State Cup, Pres Cup, Governors Cup).  Players must have an Ohio Soccer player card, be carded to a team within your same club, and cannot not be rostered to a GLC team.

We understand that teams and/or coaches may have conflicts for Presidents Cup.  We have avoided coach conflicts where possible.  We do run into  issues with field capacity and the number of games being played each day along with giving each team the same amount of rest time between games in the same day.  Any change in the schedule creates a snowball effect on the entire pool and other coaches with multiple team conflicts.

Ohio Soccer will pay referee fees for all Round Robin through Finals games.  Teams will split the referee fees for any Self schedule play in game.

Yes, if your team plays in the U13-U19 Ohio South Presidents Cup, the champion is required to play in the Midwest Presidents Cup.
