Welcome
Welcome to the Ohio High School Cup. In just eleven short years, the OHS Cup has become one of the nation's largest high school soccer tournaments and recruitment showcases. We have given over $30,000 in scholarships, and have provided our players and coaches the special opportunity to prepare for their upcoming season.

The Ohio High School Scholarship Cup is a tournament exclusively for high school teams. If you have not been with us before, the following information will help provide you with answers in preparation to attend this exciting event.

Who Can Play?
Players who will be eligible for High School play in the upcoming fall season (Michigan women sides may play just graduated seniors due to spring season). You are welcome to bring more than one team and you are also welcome to play in any division you request.

Why Should I Bring My Team to This Tournament?
The Ohio Scholarship Cup is the nation's only high school tournament dedicated to all senior participants in tournament format while offering equal divisions for play and advancing the growth of soccer. By attending our tournament you are choosing to give members of your team the chance to further their education by receiving a scholarship. Lastly, this event offers the opportunity to participate against challenging competition in a fun atmosphere.

How Will Teams Be Chosen to Play in the Ohio Cup:
We have no intention to "select" teams out of the Ohio Cup. Our only limit is facility space. Simply, we have rolling admissions. Ninety percent of our teams come from Ohio but we welcome teams from all of the country. The tournament format allows for equality by hosting a variety of teams. Our divisions help to place teams against equal competition giving every team a fair opportunity to compete at their level. We can accommodate nearly 100-200 teams for the weekend. We will only deny entry once we have reached our limit. Please, apply early.

Congratulations to the many Ohio Cup teams that won their district finals and beyond. Thank you to the coaches and players who informed us that their seasons' success began at the Ohio Cup.
