Can you point me to that? I did a quick search and couldn’t find anything specially regarding tournaments being bad, or year round being bad. A few things carved soccer out as an exception, but not really on topic to the tournaments.

I’d love to read that research because I’m always trying to figure out the right balance and it’s very challenging. [/quote]

Lots of research on ‘professionalization of youth sports’ leading to burnout. [/quote]

That’s not research. And it’s not soccer specific or regarding “year round” or tournaments specifically. Yes kids needs rest. Thats not the same as “year round.”

I am looking for actual studies. Not reports and interviews.[/quote]

Did you read the article? It points to: https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/153/2/e2023065129/196435/Overuse-Injuries-Overtraining-and-Burnout-in-Young
That study states:
&quot;Weekend Tournaments
Intensive weekend tournaments that include multiple games per day for several days are common in a number of youth sports in the United States. These may include up to 4 or 5 games in a single day, with very large acute training loads and no opportunity for adequate recovery in between. [b]These spikes in training load are associated with significant impairments in well-being and sleep[/b]&quot;
&quot;[b]Repeated high-volume events, such as weekend tournaments consisting of multiple full-length games, may also result in higher levels of accumulated stress that can overwhelm the intervening recovery[/b]. Year-round participation in sports may also increase the risk of overtraining in young athletes, as breaks from participation can allow for recovery before the next season.&quot;

Another study that is referenced (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25646361/) points out:
&quot;Young athletes participating in[b] more hours of sports per week than number of age in years[/b] (OR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.40-3.05; P &lt; .001) or whose ratio of organized sports to free play time was &gt;2:1 hours/week had[b] increased odds of having a serious overuse injury[/b] (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.26-2.76; P &lt; .01).&quot;
