[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids  really enjoyed those events when they played rec at SYA. It was fun to play against clubs outside of SYA.  We normally play against the same 6-7 teams from the same club per season, which are half the duration of a travel season. So it makes the rec players feel good to play against other clubs. It costed $70 which included an all stars shirt and extra practices with coaches and players from other teams.

Maybe it is comical to these exalted travel parents. But those were memorable times for us lowly rec parents. [/quote]

The problem with the Valor event (can't call it a tournament really) is you can literally feel their contempt for the rec kids.

My kids loved the Herndon and the FPYC tournaments. When we had to do the Valor thing, it was just pathetic. Rec teams and All Star teams were all jumbled up in the same bracket because they didn't have enough teams. We paid for an "all star tournament" but I don't think they even played one actual all star team. Game scores were like 20-0. (They didn't even put the right scores into the app because they were too ridiculous.) The field didn't look like a tournament or anything was even happening there. The medals were breaking in half as the coach passed them out.

Travel clubs shouldn't run events for rec kids. They don't respect them and just want their money and it shows. [/quote]
