[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A valid valor complaint-- why is my fourth grader daughter's extemely not great team travling all the way to north carolina for a tournament this weekend? They do not need to go that far to find competitive games. There are girls on the team who would not be rec team stars. This was not mentioned at the parent meeting at the beginning of the season. Do the coaches get a kickback or something. I just don't understand the point. [/quote]

That is valid concern and hopefully the parents had a chance to veto this.  At the 1st sign of something like this, organize a meeting with your team manager and get a consensus of parents to not participate.

There is no need for the 3rd or 4th team to travel so far unless all the parents think its a good idea.  Tournaments should either be fun family vacations or for the development of the players.  You're right, your team could have saved thousands and just played in a tournament locally instead at your level.

There is even data that says bringing young players to too many away overnight tournaments will burn them out.   [/quote]

Seems odd that this wasn't covered in your meeting or at least MONTHS ago... as that is when they generally register for tournaments. There really isn't much of an opportunity to veto, although I supposed the team could be a no show, but yikes.

Sorry your team isn't great, hopefully they have a good experience at the tournament.[/quote]
