About Boys Soccer

Compete for Regional Pride

Tryouts will be held for soccer and the athletes chosen during the tryouts will have the honor of representing their region in a highly competitive round-robin tournament. There are four regions represented in the Granite State Games — Lakes, Monadnock, Coastal, and Southern.

All athletes receive top-notch coaching throughout the tournament. Each regional team is led by experienced high school and club coaches who volunteer their time and expertise to develop players and build winning teams in a short window.

The boys soccer program has been one of the cornerstone sports of the Granite State Games since its founding, consistently drawing some of the state’s most talented players. The competition is fierce, the coaching is exceptional, and the experience is one athletes remember for years.
