[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize they can call these tournaments whatever they want, but yet another National Championship?[/quote]

Yes, this is a problem in youth soccer. Every league has their own national championships -- it actually fits the P2P system well, though -- as you can crown MORE teams and lead parents to believe it's all worth the $$$.

Still, it's why no one really can claim to be the best team in any age group. Sure, we've got a rankings app but it has favorites. Best way to settle things always is on the field.[/quote]

I actually don't mind the multiple "national championships." These are kids sports, not pro ball. There should be multiple avenues to find success, even if it doesn't fit our adult version of competition. Nationals is a big achievement for any of these leagues and the kids who make it there have worked very hard for a long time. I have no issues with "nattys" for USYS/USClub/ENCL/GA/MLSnext/ECRL/Presidents cup/DPL...etc. That's still not very top championships for the millions of kids who play travel soccer. (USYS registers 2.5 million each year alone).[/quote]

I don't mind it either ... I just think it'd be fun to have the champs play each other -- although that's probably not logistically possible OR smart given the amount of soccer already played. [/quote]
