But your last point is the biggie....Back to back games (and back to back to back in tournaments as you noted) on weekends. This is the biggest area of overuse injuries.
That's why the GDA (and this isn't a plug, but simply stating a fact) works. Very, very rarely are there back to back games even in conference/leagues plays.
If your kid is playing in 50+ games per year (tournaments in there), that's too much. In the era of Got Soccer points, this was common. No need. The ultimate goal is to either play for fun and/or get seen for college. You don't need 50+ games (not including practices) to accomplish this.
