Teams such as the Bridge have no right to complain about the competitive level of teams they play in league play. These are the teams that they have recruited the best players from to create the best teams in the state. I would think that these Bridge teams would seek competitive teams through quality tournaments. But, why would a team such as the Bridge U13G be playing in tournaments such as the James Island Tournament, Girls Rock, and St Patrick’s Day Cup if they are truly looking for top competition? When this same team goes to a quality tournament such as the Concorde Fire they don’t play in the top flight. Seems to me they are just looking for trophies not competitive games. This type of schedule does not seem to help this U13G team prepare for R3PL next Spring. Also, maybe if the Bridge had home fields teams would not have to travel as much to play these non-competitive teams.
