Coach P,

You are correct. Five games in two days wouldn't work. That's why they have people smarter than me running these tournaments.

The problem I have with it is that the team playing the first game and third game gets substantially more rest than the other two teams. Also, the team playing in the first and second game faces an absolutely fresh team in their second match.

These are only U-13 Girls with 15 or 16 players on the roster so I assume that finishing a game at 2 PM and starting the next one at 3:30 PM is enough rest. Any coaches want to chime in?


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
