The official 2027 National Games Guidelines will have a more detailed, and much longer, section regarding player eligibility.
The intent of the Eligibility Guidelines is that participants will not join the organization for the singular purpose of participating in the National Games. The tournament is for players that participated during the Region’s regular season. A player’s eligibility is at the discretion of the team’s Section Director and National Games Tournament Director. Eligible players must be registered in AYSO registration system for Membership Year 2026-2027.
