cant escape the fact that it is no fun to travel to tournaments and watch your son/daughter not get any light or barely move off sidelines....watching other kids have fun and contribute stinks...and the hotel afterwards is a bunch more fun when you and your kids can say they enjoyed the game(s)
seems like $$ would be better spent with one-on-one trainer...
yes, true that players get better against better talent, but they are still kids who want to play ...
