Clearly some U9 and U11 Madlax parents. There is a honeymoon phase where it's so exciting to play in 5 tournaments a season. After a couple of years, you'll realize why top clubs don't play that many tournaments - because it's unnecessary and only goes to the bottom line of the club.

There's a reason why Madlax youth teams are much better than their HS teams. Kids leave after 8th because they realize the options are much better (and much cheaper). You'll see eventually, just like everyone else. Until then, hope you enjoy playing $100 a month just for the right to be part of an "academy".
