State Associations are official members of US Youth Soccer, acting as the governing body for youth soccer within their respective states.

They are responsible for organizing state cup competitions, managing the Olympic Development Program (ODP) at the state level, coordinating coaching education, and overseeing affiliated local leagues and clubs.

If you are looking to start a new club, register a team for a sanctioned tournament, or participate in ODP, your State Association is your primary point of contact.
