TOURNAMENTS

April 20, 2024

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.

Girls 2008 Orange and Boys 2011 White Teams Give Back

Girls 2008 Orange and Boys 2011 White both collected donations and decorated snack bags for the snack station at the Cincinnati Ronald McDonald House.

Families staying at the RMH can go to the snack station first thing in the morning to pack food for their families to eat during the day while they are at the hospital. By donating foods that they can grab and go, our Storm kids are helping ease at least one small burden for these families who are going through so much!
