Why would Alexandria have white in but not red at u11 and up?
Addressed in other threads. They send top teams (red and elite) to regional tournaments. White and blue do state cup and other tourneys. Alexandria top teams already played in usyf regionals in Richmond earlier this month.
Alexandria parent here...this is not true. The plans were to have all four teams within each age group to participate in this tournament. The organizers merged two locations into one and could not accommodate all of the teams. Because Red and Elite were going to get 3 tournaments (out of scheduled 4), they were pulled from the tournament as a courtesy to the organizers. Alexandria parents pay on a sliding scale more if they are on the the Elite and Red teams because they participate in 4 tournaments - with other teams participating in two. So, VYSA's lack of organization essentially cut the value of that higher package - taking away four games that the Alexandria parents paid for.
Pretty sure most Alexandria parents don’t assume the fee differences simply reflect the number of tournaments or games expected, but YMMV. I don’t think they are missing much. Intraleague play is tougher for most of their teams than the teams in this tournament.
Different Alexandria parent here. Pretty sure we do. You tell me what the difference is.

Red and elite did in fact play usyf regionals two weeks ago and did not put top teams in this tourney last time.

Thanks. This futsal stuff can be confusing. I thought this state cup was to qualify for the Atlantic City regionals in late February.
Different association. That is an open regional, so you don’t need to do state cup to qualify.

If I was the St James I would be embarrassed to have my name attached to this tournament.
