Why participate in tournaments?
Tournament add significantly more game playing opportunities to your players. True, several of our teams have yet to win a game in a tournament but they’ve got to compete against some of the best players in the state from other recreational teams. The tournaments are fun for the players and more importantly, incredibly fun for the parents and our players’ fans as we celebrate as a soccer family.
In the past year coaches Gruber, True, LeClaire (both of them) and Whipple have taken teams to tourneys all over Iowa. If you’re thinking about going to one, ask them about the experience.
If you have any questions regarding the tournaments, how to prepare for them and how to get your players excited about them, please contact Paul Gruber and I’ll fill you in.
