Turnaments play an important role in the rythym of play of our teams. Ideally, it is an opportunity to play teams outside the league.
We are deliberate about the tournaments we send teams to. We pick ones that are well-run (and have good parking) with a good reputation of creating fair brackets of teams with similar skills. Ideally, giving each team an opportunity to win. Our goal is to put teams in divisions of the tournament where they will be competitive. My view is that it’s better to win 2 and lose 1 than have 3 teams that are easy to beat. Unfortunately, some teams or clubs see tournament as an easy chance to collect a trophy by applying to lower division than they should be in. The result of pretty lobsided scores. We’ve seen 20-1 and 12-0 scoresl out teams on the losing end. Our teams didn’t have any fun playing retreive the ball from the goal and the other team certainly didn’t get anything useful out of the game.

We just received an updated “Return to Play” protocol from Ohio Youth Soccer. This protocol is based on the Ohio South Youth Soccer “Return to Activity: Phase 2” recommendations and the “Responsible RestartOhio” requirements for Contact Sport Practices and Non-Contact Sport Competitions.
It will be updated as additional information becomes available from governing health and sports organizations.
