“Invited” is more like it… If you apply and will pay you get in. Getting wiped, which is the historical norm for our local teams is apparently “fun”. And the families who do go think it’s some proxy for how good their kid is. |
Nice try at the forced self justification |
You mean bragging to coworkers and grandparents, getting on a plane and spending thousands doesn't mean my 11 year old is Champions League level? |
I mean, seriously, why are you here? This is a forum for people that are into soccer. This specific topic is very clearly about a tournament. So you literally just spent your time intentionally coming on here just to say you don't like it? Do you go to the grocery store and stand at the checkout line and tell people you don't like the food they are buying? Is this distracting you from your hobby of going on the Disney forums and telling people you think Disney resorts suck? I'm not going to this tournament, but we know people who are and I hope they do well and that they have a good time. |
https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/27833/Professionalization-of-youth-sports-can-lead-to?autologincheck=redirected Lots of research on ‘professionalization of youth sports’ leading to burnout. |
BSC is losing players because of poor coaching and at least one of their teams will not even score a single goal. Totally worth it, Bed Side Commode Kool-Aid drinkers!!! |
That’s not research. And it’s not soccer specific or regarding “year round” or tournaments specifically. Yes kids needs rest. Thats not the same as “year round.” I am looking for actual studies. Not reports and interviews. |
10 and 11 year olds flying from DMV to Florida in summer after the season is over for a tournament is nonsense |
some are driving
|
Poor coaching? Are you suggesting all the coaches at BSC poor or just a select few? Only 2 teams from BSC are going to Super Copa so I hope you are not referring to the 2015G E1 team. |
Exactly right. And yep it’s hot in Florida in the summer, just ask the millions who live there and like it. Get over yourselves people. |
| U12 littles going to Florida for post season meaningless tournament getting more attention than the World Cup tells you about the audience |
Not really, it's more that people don't come to DCUM to talk about the WC. |
Dear #girldads and #girlmoms, Please be mindful there are boys as well so your basic facts about the club are incorrect. |
Many bench players gonna get 15 minutes maybe and 5 touches all tournament |
