TG doesn't always need YJ to be in a tourny and it's not like YJ doesn't get enough exposure elsewhere. I just question why if TG is so "hot" (which by the way - they are) you play teams much less experienced than you in tournaments, using the upcoming Grind as an example. What the heck is TG Black doing playing all second teams. R u playing for the love of the game or for the medal? (which you'll probably win regardless). Just seems like a waste of time to go all the way to PA to play 4 meaningless games against weaker opponents. If your U15 just won a national championship (BTW congrats!) can you explain why your 2017 Black is playing against so called Junior Varsity teams rather than the other clubs' Varsitys?? Ultimately you'll win the bracket age group championship but wouldn't it be better to actually earn it? Perhaps the organizers of the Grind can just mail you the medals and save you all the trip and expense.
