Maybe just maybe the kids have worked so hard over the years and love playing together and the parents can afford to take them either as a reward for all the hard work or as a mini "working" vacation for the family. Why does everything have to be so negative?
Far from negative, I am just sharing a different opinion on a fall tournament when it comes to committed players. I am sure many of the girls love the game and playing together with their teammates. Unfortunately not everyone can share your view economically. Let's be honest, if you add up the costs for this tournament in Florida and some of the others in Maryland it might actually might add up to the cost of the athletic money being given to many of these girls.
I look at this type of tournament as solely a recruiting event. If my daughter was committed already I would not go. Again, this is just my opinion not a negative comment.
