Maybe its just me.
I am talking 12U and early 14U (09s playing at 14U)
I see fall tournaments as practice. The goal is to let the girls play competitive competition. Identify things that need improving or to built upon work on those items...work on something new......then play the next tournament......
Everyone is so caught up on winning or losing instead of improving......
Because our team is a grade based team 7th graders. we have a few december 08s that is forcing us up to 14U...we are fine...just need more practice and I see tournaments as that.
Or maybe its just me.
