As I sit in my backyard enjoying the sun and the peace and quiet, a part of me is longing for the fun and excitement of the Memorial Day tourneys. It used to be one of our biggest tourneys of the year at 14U and below. The travel, the hotel stay, the long weekend away from home. The girls looking forward to the hotel pool after games and the parents just hanging out poolside.

If you are a parent whose dd is in one of these tourneys, enjoy it. Cherish it. It goes by way too fast. Amazing how much I miss those days….

Me too. This is my last Memorial Day weekend watching my DD play. I'm going through withdraw because it was only a Sat/Sun tournament, not a 3 day.

We played this weekend and this was the first Memorial Weekend in three years the weather cooperated. First year 14U from 10th seed to runner's up against the RI Thunder. We had a rough Saturday but they came back strong. Coach was already talking about not doing tourneys until early June next year because of HS commitments and not being able to practice sufficiently in April and May which is very accurate. I can already feel it slipping away

We spent this weekend on the field and finished as 12U Runner Up. As a double bonus, the tournament is in our hometown. As another poster mentioned, first time in 3 years it's been held (covid in 2020 and rainout last year). We got rained out on Sat, but played a modified schedule on Sunday and got 4 games in under beautiful weather.
