MHSA Handbook
In 1991-92 six schools were sanctioned by MHSA to play interscholastic soccer culminating in the first state championships for boys and girls. There are currently two classifications, AA and A. Class AA schools participated in an eight-team tournament until 2019 and currently use a sixteen-team playoff bracket allowing the higher seeded teams to host games at their home site. Class A schools sponsor an eight-team playoff bracket allowing home teams to host games each week.
