This is the National Championship tournament that was designed to create a competition for teams not competing in the NSC Series (U12 thru U17; with U12 thru U17 moving to Regional and U13 thru U17 to National play). For those looking to play against teams of similar abilities for a National Championship Title.  This tournament is open to all competitive teams and clubs in NHSA.  Teams from NHSA can participate in both the Presidents cup and State Cup whether they are State Cup Champions or finalists or not.
