About the South Texas Cup Tournament

Men's teams, get ready for the 2012 South Texas Cup that will be held at the new Houston Amateur Sports Park in Houston, Texas on April 14th and 15th. The South Texas Cup is the official tournament, organized and administered by the Texas State Soccer Association-South, Inc. In order to encourage and increase player development, the State Association has created a system of competitions that recognizes the achievement of the better teams and players.

These competitions are organized to establish state champions in the following categories:

• Men's Over 30 Competition
• Men's Over 40 Competition - Division I
• Men's Amateur Competition - Premier, Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3

A multiple-registered player may play in one or more competitions, but may not play in more than one division within the same competition. The tournaments are held every spring. The tournament format is decided each year by the State Commissioners. The State Cup tournament is open to every registered team in the State Association.
