Glen Herbst Memorial Preseason Tournament - Spring 2026

Glen Herbst Memorial Tournament

The Glen Herbst Memorial Tournament serves as the official kickoff event for the STL West season. Formerly known as the preseason tournament, this week-long, STL West–sanctioned tournament brings league teams together to open the season through competitive play and sportsmanship while honoring the memory and legacy of Glen Herbst. View full tournament details.

Participation is limited to registered STL West teams only. This tournament is not open to non-STL West organizations.

The tournament is open to boys and girls ages 7U–14U. Divisions may be split or combined based on the number of registered teams to ensure competitive balance and meaningful gameplay. All games are played under official STL West rules.

STL West hosts and administers the tournament. Games are played throughout the week at multiple STL West member organization fields. Registering under a specific organization does not guarantee games will be played at that location. Host sites and field assignments are determined by STL West once registration closes and schedules are finalized.

Teams should be prepared to travel to assigned STL West host locations as part of tournament participation. This structure allows the league to balance divisions, schedules, and field availability across the STL West network.

Team Frequently Asked Questions
  • What is Team Registration?: Team Registration allows a manager for 7u -14u to register an entire team by paying one flat team fee. Players on a team-paid roster will still register individually for $0 to complete required waivers, emergency contact info, and uniform details.
  • Who should use Team Registration?: Teams with 11 or more players should register under the team program. This is the most cost-effective option, because the flat team fee saves money compared to individual player fees.
  • What if our team has 10 or fewer players: Teams with 10 or fewer players should NOT use the Team Registration Program. Instead, all players should register individually in the Individual Registration Program, where each family pays the individual fee. PYA will then place those players together on the same roster.
  • Do team paid players still register.: Yes. All players must complete a $0 individual registration to sign waivers, provide emergency contacts, and enter roster information. This does NOT cost anything when the coach has already paid the team fee.
  • Can managers invite players?: Yes. Managers can use the “Invite Player” tool inside TeamSideline to send a registration link directly to families.
Roster Frequently Asked Questions
  • How do players sign the waiver?: After your team is registered, each player will need to sign up individually through the Player Waiver Registration link and complete the online forms.
  • Do players have to pay again?: No—your team fee covers all players. Player sign-up is for waivers only.
