The YMCA of Southern WV, Woodrow Wilson High School, Shady Spring High School, Independence High School, Visit Southern West Virginia and Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce are proud to announce that Beckley and the YMCA Paul Cline Memorial Sports Complex will again be the host location for the 2023 WVSSAC High School State Soccer Tournament.  This state tournament gives us the opportunity to showcase Beckley and Raleigh County to attending teams and their families that will visit our area for the three-day event.

The WVSSAC State Tournament will again bring a significant economic impact to Beckley-Raleigh County as it has done in the previous 20-plus years. This year’s tournament will have challenges that will require the entire local community’s assistance.

The WVSSAC is changing the tournament format for 2023.  The Semi Finals will be played on Thursday, November 2 with the Finals being played on Saturday, November 4.  This schedule gives the teams a day of rest on Friday, November 3 and the opportunity to explore our community for meals, activities and more.

For this tournament to be a success we need the support of the local business and soccer communities. Many people and businesses have worked on and supported this event for over 20 years.   It is past time for new blood!!!  Businesses can be supportive as sponsors and by allowing employees to volunteer at the tournament.  Soccer families can be supportive as sponsors and volunteers. Civic Groups can contribute valuable hours of community service. To ensure quality and economic benefit, the tournament requires participation from community partners in the form of monetary sponsorships, in-kind services, volunteerism and more.
