[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s great. I have no opinion on a group of “DMV all-stars”. I only know that there’s a lot of talent in that age group and for them to go and compete against top clubs from across the country is impressive. It’s not a “regular” team playing year-round with each other.

Every team brings guest players so there are zero “regular” teams competing at these events and making it to SuperCopa finals. SYC does it, Loudoun does it, McLean does it, Bethesda does it, etc. “Regular teams” do not compete at these events without guest players. Tell me I’m wrong…[/quote]

You're wrong because I'm not from the DMV. [/quote]

Guess you can’t read either. EVERY TEAM brings guest players. I don’t give two cents where you’re from.[/quote]

There's a difference bringing one or two guest players because kids/parents don't want to travel to TX in June vs. forming an actual all-star team. Either way, these tournaments at these ages are BS and you know it. I know I struck a chord, but tournaments like this are a joke. [/quote]

No chords struck. These tournaments are the only way youth teams get a chance to see other teams from across the country. It’s a different story when they reach GA/MLSNext/ECNL and attend showcases. Are those also a joke?[/quote] because it doesnt matter.  No one gives a hoot that 9-11 yr olds go across the country.  Show cases are a different story for older kids. But also are a joke if you are not seeded in top bracket. [/quote]

What older showcases are you referring to?[/quote] In HS, generally around sophomore year, the travel tournaments are showcases.  No more trophies.  It’s another money grab if your kids team is not in top bracket.  Colleges do not show up to watch lower brackets.  [/quote]
