History

National Sports Center Cup started in 1993 as a way to fill a growing demand for early season tournaments in Minnesota. The tournament started with fewer than 70 teams, mainly from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota. Since that time, the tournament has grown to become a popular holiday tournament with teams traveling from numerous states. We've also instituted a college coaches recruiting program to allow players to showcase their talents to college coaches.
