My dd played on an LS team in that Valor event last spring before she moved up to club. It SUCKED. There were no levels becuae they only had a few teams total and their team crushed everyone. Not bragging! it was just a waste of time and not fun for anyone.
Better tournaments have levels so that doesn't happen. And the medals were insulting to the rec kids, basically, joke medals implying that rec soccer tournament is a joke. My daughter was embarased of it and threw hers in the garbage.
It was a piece of tin shaped like a mexican hat on a string. I kid you not
LS way overchargers for rec all stars anyway and then to get that crap tournament for what we paid was just beyond the pail.
Hey genius, how do you create levels in a rec tournament outside of age/grade?
Hey genius, the Herndon and FPYC tournaments do it. You ask the all start team coaches what level they should be at, or you sort them thru mini games on Saturday. Its not hard, actually.
Valor's issue is no one wants to play in their tournament, so they have to lie to SYA and CYA rec teams to get enough teams to even have a multi-year bracket.
