It's hot.
Parking is awful.
Refs are in training - so miss a lot of calls.

What do you mean by the refs are in training? Are there instructors at the fields teaching the refs on the field?


They are all new and no, there are no instructors or lines people.


Its cheaper to get ref in training. 50% discount.

To add to the bad refs; what the hell is with using deflated or water logged garage balls at this tournament? I thought it was just bad luck for us but talking to other parents it's a problem every year. Stupid thing to complain about but on top of everything else it's icing on the cake of how bad the whole thing is.

The Virginian is the worst club ran tournament in this area. SYC top teams are FORCED, that is right FORCED to 1. play 2. pay to play. They also make the top team play up a year and they typically end up playing each other in the finals.

Refs are horrible. Fields are horrible.


+1

And for the boys at the High School ages the level of competition is extremely low. ECNL has a tournament on the same weekend and most other MLS clubs don't show up.

But besides that it's great, right?

I don’t understand the question. It’s like most other soccer tournaments. Hot, busy, crowded, some refs are better than others. What specifically are you asking?

Are you an SYC parent? If that’s the case, plan to work every second of the weekend from dawn till dark and hope you can catch your kid’s game.
