Applications for the 2017 USPA Middle School League are now open! Young players in grades five through eight are eligible to compete in tournaments spanning the country from New York to Hawaii. The Middle School League is in its fourth year and continues to grow with 13 scheduled tournaments.

The goal of the USPA Middle School League is to provide a venue for young players to gain tournament experience, while allowing them to play against competitors of equal ability. Eligible players must be enrolled in an academic program as a fifth, sixth, seventh or eigth grade student and will be entered as an individual. Players are responsible for bringing or leasing appropriate horses for the tournaments, as the split-string format will not be used. Player application and fees are due 10 days before their preferred tournament date.
