Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes the alternative tournaments during Memorial Day weekend are just peachy. Nothing better than getting on the roads on a Friday afternoon during a holiday weekend to travel a few states away (right before the team is ready to disband for the summer and a bunch of the players are moving on to other organizations). Good times.

Everyone has teams in with PDA. CFC got their NPL U14’s in and a 3rd 17’s. Pays off to have friends in high places. Just another way CFC flexes their leverage in the state.

Easy enough to fix.
Tell your club you don't want to go to these events. Get all your other parents to do the same and refuse to participate.
Just choose to not go. If enough in your club do so, then there will be no tournament participation. If enough clubs do that, then the tournaments will dry up for lack of money and profits.
I'd love to see the end of tournaments. The worst kind of soccer there is for youth players.

Besides, my kids have fun going to tournaments and I enjoy spending time with them. I've got on in college and another on the way. It flies by in an instant. This is what my kids want so I support it. If they started complaining soccer would be ax'd out of the budget in a heartbeat for something else they're passionate about.

I kinda' like the tournaments. I know the kids love them. Bonding for a few days and being kids in between games was a great memory for me growing up; and I know my kid feels the same.
As for parents and costs, while it's something to think about it's not the end of the world. We enjoy it as well; a day out of the office is always a good day, even if it's in Maryland, Virginia, Kansas, New Jersey, wherever. It's fun watching my kid have fun, and good to get out of the Region and play teams we don't normally.
What surprises me most is how this comes up every year, and why are parents caught off guard? How often does a club drop an e-mail at the end of February that says "OBTW, we are going to Virginia next week?"
