In 1991-92 six schools were sanctioned by MHSA to play interscholastic soccer culminating in the first state championships for boys and girls. Each succeeding year an increase has been realized in the number of schools competing until there are now two classifications AA and A. Class AA schools participate in an eight-team tournament, while Class A schools sponsor an eight-team playoff bracket allowing home teams to host games each week.
