The worst thing was the Team 88+3 2020 team that kept kids on the bench in a blowout win on national TV. Those parents paid good money like the rest of them. But even though they were up by 10 in the 4th quarter, kids were kept off the field and not in the game. Totally lame, like this tournament.


What good team doesn’t go to the WSYL because of its proximity? Answer: None!

The ONLY reason a team doesn’t go is because they are not a 13U team, or because their team is not competitive. Regarding the former, their abundance of 14 and 15 year olds make them a 14U or 15U team, which is ineligible.

Remember, parents don’t decide what tourneys a team does, the club does. And there ain’t no club anywhere that wouldn’t want to go to have a chance at all that free publicity, if they think they have a legitimate shot, because it costs them nothing to go.

Doing the tourney in Colorado has nothing to do with a money grab. Money grabs can be anywhere. It’s there because Jake Steinfeld who started the WSYL Is friends with the owner of the Denver Broncos who own the stadium and the Denver Outlaws. That’s why it’s in Denver.

I’d like it on the east coast too. It would save me a boat load of dough. But that’s prob never going to happen. Because it doesn’t hurt the tourney by being there.

The best 13U teams go. If your team is a 14U or 15U team, then you’re not going. Simple as that.
