Indiana Youth Soccer requires all Indiana U9 and U10 teams to play 6 v 6 and all Indiana U11 and U12 teams to play 8 v 8.  If there is enough interest, we will host a U13 bracket for out of state U12 teams.  We have done this in past tournaments. (Please apply as a U13 and note that you are a U12 team.)

All other age groups will play 11 v 11. 

Rosters (including guest players) will be limited to 12 players (U9 and U10), 14 players (U11 and U12), 18 players (U13 thru U16) and 22 players (U17 thru U19).  U17 thru U19 teams may only dress 18 players for a game.  All players, including guest players, must have a valid player pass and notarized medical release form.  Teams will be allowed unlimited guest players as long as they don't exceed the roster limit. 

Cost for the tournament is $420 for U9 and U10 divisions, $470 for U11 and U12 divisions, and $495 for the U13-U19 divisions.

Application deadline is April 20, 2008.
