[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think the club is doing a disservice to the youngest kids not having them play in crossover or the Herndon All-Star tournament.  I know a parent said that VYS wasn't fielding competitive crossover teams so they stopped, but is that a good excuse?  They get to go out and face other clubs representing their club, work with kids they don't know very well, learn a little about playing with GKs, having referees, following the laws of the game, having check ins, captains, 6v6, etc.  It's a great experience.  They have a mercy rule so the score is never that bad.  Coaches (especially our professionals) should be able to get the kids to not focus on the score anyway.  As to the U8 rec tournaments...I mean come on.  It's such a great experience.  It's probably their first tournament. This is shameful.  It's a real disservice.  If I had a U7 in this club, I'd get the hell out.  A club should be looking to give kids opportunities to play...not take them away. Pathetic![/quote]

Um yeah, the reason VYS didn't enter the younger kids into the tournament is because unlike travel, VYS house didn't change the age mandate.  (This was decision during the Gunney era.) Many house kids at the younger age groups played at a lower level without goalies and refs.  Hence they didn't get the experience they needed to compete against the other clubs.  Sending a house kid that played with pug goals to suddenly play with keepers isn't a good move. They'd be sent to get slaughtered.  How about you buy a clue before you spout out garbage.  [/quote]
