[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son played in the Herndon Cup for Barca. It was absolutely the right tournament for their development. It’s a largely new team and this was their first external competition, other than a friendly vs a bottom division ncsl team which they beat fairly easily. The objective was to see if they could play barca’s possession game which they have learned the last few months, under pressure of a competion. They performed well in that regard. The boys had fun and bonded as a team.  It was a lot of fun to watch even the PK shootout which they lost. It was soccer vs kickball and we won possession in every game. Yes, I know these were rec teams and expected as much. The other teams were also considerably bigger and more physical, which was part of the development test for them - could they continue to play their game and not devolve into kickball. Will be great to see them in the spring when they’ll get travel competition.[/quote]

Yeah, that seems to be the club's approach to tournaments.  They don't enter the entire club into any tournament.  They enter 1-2 teams, based on the level of the tournament and the level of the team.  i think they seem to be a very player centric program.  [/quote]

How many more rec teams would they have?[/quote]

That I don't know.  I have only noted that they have taken teams to a wide range of tournaments.  My DC isn't on a rec level team.  Some of the Barca teams are very good and have players that could make any team in town.  Maybe the other poster can comment, as his DC's team is. [/quote]

Very few, if any, could make any team in town.  Most teams there are lower level, based on results in tournament and league play so far. [/quote]
