[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tournaments are crap football. They have ZERO value developmentally and are not a good value for the time spent. Seedings are pulled out of a hat and you frequently end up with a blow out game (either in favor or against your kids). Our coaches actually hate them too feeling they are just a money grab for clubs that suck down an entire weekend of their coaching time. [/quote]

Soccer guru calls it crap football and yet they will sit on their ass all weekend watching EPL on TV with out any physical movement.  Yet their child participates in these "crap football" events and builds long lasting memories with friends.  Yeah, sounds like crap to me.[/quote]

youth soccer isn't about bonding and socialization and memories, it's about sinking several thousand a year into their training from second grade through high school and making sure they progress the right way in order to achieve the ultimate prize- a partial scholarship to a DI directional school that absent sports they would never dream of applying to [/quote]

Wow, from that angle that sounds harsh, forced, binding, depressing, sad.

ANY sport, and of course the king sport, football (soccer here) is absolutely about bonding and creating meaningful and lasting relationships. 
Instilling values like camaraderie, sacrifice, discipline, effort. You must be that so-called basement-type person or full-on angry and regretful talking all that foolishness... you know nothing about sports and if you have children then check yourself. [/quote]

+1. So many life  can be taught by the beautiful game [/quote]
