Good topic Mom. What do you need to do today to attract a decent response to a South Carolina tournament?
Location - I will go to Charleston (or Hilton Head, or Savannah for that matter) for a U-9 girls recreational 3v3 tournament. It's a vacation destination....parents love it.
Fields - I'd go to Manchester Meadows in Rock Hill for any tournament as well, just for the opportunity to play on those fields. Having shopping, restaurants, hotels and entertainment so close by is also a major plus.
Competition - Although Columbia and Greenville have done a great job of hosting tournaments in the past (and Columbia gets an additional good mark simply for being centrally located), I'm not going there unless I get the right competition. If my kid's on a premier team, you better be attracting some big guns. If my kid is on a SCYSA classic team, there better be comparable teams from FL, GA and NC.
