We all agree to this cr@p. As the customers here, we should just say no. En masse. Honestly it’s all a boondoggle to have kids and families feel important and make money. No one cares about low bracket 12 year olds!

Or the low brackets of 11 year olds! lol Yes, its not just middle schoolers, we have 5th and 6th graders going too. And these are the teams and clubs that participate in about 9-10 tournaments per year. It's a lot. But, as my very rich half uncle, whose daughter is playing Pro in Portugal said, "How many kids do you have? One! Ok, good, now how much money do you have to spend? -100k! Ok, thats good! With those kinds of resources, your kid just be a good soccer player!"

The event is listed as a Showcase vs Tournament. So, who will be at this event watching these players? They all just flew down to Florida for a nice weekend and 3x scrimmages. When showcases are being held for 5th and 6th graders, I have to wonder if it isn't a bit circumspect to say it is a legitimate event.

the brackets are not by best teams. You can figure this out quickly by looking at team rankings. they just spread the teams out. Bracket A Vs D means nothing

Not a troll. A soccer parent who has shelled out too much $$$. Unless your kid is the next natl team member, no one is watching them, honestly even in high school, til 11th grade. We are all letting ourselves be sold a lotta nothing by clubs, hotels, leagues, and private trainers. It’s nuts.

Did you not read the details before you signed the dotted line? Did you voluntarily sign your kid up for GA? This is TRAVEL soccer.
