In all seriousness this is possibly one of the worst tournaments/events in New England, alongside cranberry cup and the Abbey Villa events.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThanks for checking in team Team Surf. No one is claiming it is a top tournament. It is a pre-season tournament where teams can get back on field together, work on fitness and get ready for Stars Cup.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgreed. Nobody looking for a top tournament when our kids just need to play again. Many kids out of shape still. I will take any tournament and anyone can go as long as they wear a mask and there are no parent fist fights between Surf and Bayside.

We can’t do a tournament if we can’t get soccer moved to moderate risk and even then I think tournaments aren’t allowed this fall.

Bayside scared to play Surf! 🤣
It's too bad Bayside sounds so scared to play against Surf teams. If you don't think your teams will lose, then why won't you let Surf compete against you??

Not to mention the fact Surf / GPS ri coaches are on here attacking bayside. As a parent I have to say their “anonymous” attacks are embarrassing.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSerious question—are you saying that bayside is not allowing Surf to enter their tournament? Clubs generally want their tournaments to attract as many teams as possible ($$$). In MA, there is definitely no love lost between NEFC and Stars, but Stars would never block NEFC teams from Stars Cup. Seems counterproductive for Bayside to do that. Not saying that this Bayside tournament is at the level of Stars Cup, but still...
May be hard to justify trusting a club like surf to act properly at a tournament at times like these. I think everyone agrees there management and coaches have some growing up to do.

One or two stud athletes at that age, especially in small size games where the coach plays those kids in the central positions and for most of the game, can win games.
That's the nutshell of the problem -- judging by wins and losses at early ages. Sure, if it was 10-0 that might mean something, but more likely the other squad simply has better athletes.
One of the best youth coaches my son had was one that forbid the GK from punting as the standard rule, even though it probably cost them some matches.

Are they showing skill competencies with the ball? Are they motivated? Are they having fun? Are they getting playing time in various positions? Are they trying to demonstrate some basic tactics or is it kick and chase?

I hope this tournament happens and they invite all the local clubs, Bruno, Liverpool, NEFC, Surf. Just let the kids play who cares where they all went its good to just get them on the field playing in RI against RI kids. Going to have to limit number of spectators and maybe it's 7 v 7 to keep numbers down, whatever. Let's just do this. Plan it for Labor Day weekend when we are officially out of phase 3 and the tourists will have gone home to get their kids back to school.
