[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nation's Cup is NOT a high level tournament. It does not draw the top teams from the area. I think the closest tournament to experience that would be Jefferson Cup. Nation's Cup is a decent tournament, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't travel from Pittsburgh for it to test my team against club's B and C teams. Even WAGS stinks anymore. Doesn't seem like Bethesda Cup is pulling in the top teams anymore either.[/quote]

Such a lukewarm take. At u8-u11/12, it’s WAGS in the fall and Jeff Cup in Spring. In OP’s age group, WAGS had the top 2 ranked teams in Va and MD, top ranked team from GA, and a probable top team from NC, and another from FL. That’s about as good as it gets at this age so spare the nonsense ECNL/GA, the older age groups were weak nonsense. Thats a quality competition at that age.

Beyond those two, it’s basically tourneys like these, Bethesda has a number of solid teams for an end of season tourney, Capital Cup is a little smaller than usual but a tourney with the #2 ranked team in PA and the #1 in VA is pretty much a solid weekends worth of games at this age to wrap up the season.

OP, see how your weekend goes, and if a measuring stick is your goal against the teams you’re playing consider Jeff Cup in March if you make the semis, for sure if you make the finals.

Thanks for the insight!!! I'm pretty sure we are doing the Jefferson Cup in March. I know Riverhound teams have done it in the past and I'm pretty sure our coach mentioned something about doing another cup the weekend before because he felt like "it would be a good tune up for the Jefferson Cup". I'm almost positive I heard him say this.

Relatedly, keep an eye on the Spirit this weekend. If they win, they’re hosting a semifinal game the same weekend that may work with your game schedule for a fun team outing.[/quote][/quote][/quote]
