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.

A BIG congrats to our B11 White team! Way to end the season as CHAMPIONS in the Indy Fusion Fall Classic!
Coach Galperin states, “These boys played hard and played smart all weekend. They absolutely deserved the trophy! My true pride in this team, however, isn’t in winning the trophy, it’s in watching their development both as individual players and collectively as a team. Can’t wait to continue the journey with these boys!”
