And coach, I hate to tell you but club parents have been known to toss a few back in the parking lot at tournaments as well.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMTOC is just the tournament... Winners of the different town leagues, Essex, Middlesex, BAYS etc... play each other over a weekend. Lots of fun for the u-littles. But I will say that it puts HUGE pressure on town coaches and players to try to make it, rather than what town soccer should be about... friends playing, town bonding etc. So many "town" teams are stacked with outside players, especially at the upper age levels. All to say they are the best town team. Insane. And I really doubt there is a college top prospect of 2017 that is playing town soccer as a senior in HS. If so you are crazy, that is just an injury waiting to happen.
Any college prospect is not playing town come high school.

MTOC is a different vibe than Jeff Cup, PDA, CASL, etc. What it lacks in depth it more than makes up for in intensity. Those spots of imperfection only make it more exciting. Plus Dads are coaching, and with town pride on the line, the sidelines could scare fisher cats.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI didn't think that "Town" continued into HS, either. Thought it just became varsity. Looked at MTOC schedule and there are HS Grades represented, so clearly there is something. As for level of play, I have seen Town and MTOC through Girls 8th grade for 2 Ds. Plenty of recognizable players on the field from the big name clubs in the big name leagues. Many less polished players as well, but that's what makes it so fun.

All one needs to do to know the best days of soccer at all levels in the US are behind her, which isn't necessarily saying much, is read this thread.
