[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, they are rec tournaments and you shouldn't have high expectations that they are run well. Rec tourneys are a money grab for the clubs to take the money of parents who believe these tournaments matter. The lack of U13 teams and older isn't a measure of tournament quality.  U12 is the last year for LS allstar teams. They expect the kids with any real talent to move to travel by that age. Maybe more clubs are moving to this model for allstar tournaments. [/quote]

That's nonsense: both Herndon and FPYC tournaments have 100+ u13 and up teams. Most of the all star players at that age are low-income kids who love the game but can't afford club (or great athletes who play soccer not as one of their main sports). Alexandria has a well-run fall tournament specifically for older players. Its only the Valor tournament that can't seem to get their act together for the 11v11 ages.

Programs for rec kids can exist independent of the world of travel soccer.[/quote]
