What if, prior to a team's U12 spring season ...

Contests were limited to regular league seasons (results recorded as they are now).  Teams can still have/host scrimmages and friendlies with other clubs, just with no results recorded.  Clubs could hold tournaments that remain within the club.

Would youth soccer be in a "better" place?

Theoretically, more field space would be available for U12+ tournaments.  Perhaps more refs would be available.  No magical guest players that show up out of nowhere just for the tourney (again, for the years indicated).  Would there be less club-hopping trying to place players on a "winning" team or chasing GotSoccer/YSR points?

I'm trying to come up with arguments against this, if it were a policy.

I think you could instead just spread them out throughout the year and do less. I like friendly's. they usually are cheaper than doing a tournament. I think that the ECNL teams are doing more of them and less tournaments. [/quote]
