[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our parents told our club no tournaments this year. It's not worth it. [/quote]

Not worth what?  Local tournaments cost $50-$75 per kid.  If you are spending $2,000 on a season, seems silly not to try to do tournaments.  Or are you afraid of COVID-19?  You are ok with practice and league games, but not tournaments?  I don't get it.

BTW, not a loudoun parent.[/quote]

Do you really not understand the difference in the level of risk of transmission between team practices and league games compared to tournaments?

And for what?  Developmentally, tournaments offer zero benefits and at high school ages actually do more harm than good.  Playing 3-4 games in a weekend is silly at best,  dangerous at worst.   They are fun social events for the kids and parents, and an opportunity for bragging rights for the clueless parents who think things like that actually matter.  First and foremost though, their primary and overriding purpose is to generate revenue for the clubs.

Would be better to spread out the season and play more league matches and scrimmages.   Less weekends without a match,  but no weekends with multiple matches. [/quote]

The difference is League games don't make the club any money the way a tournament does.

And we all know that Loudoun Soccer doesn't give money back.[/quote]
