Play soccer, really? Are you that much of a moron to not understand the major advantage of putting any fresh team against any team playing their second game. I agree it is a showcase, but the right thing is to have fresh teams playing each other in the morning and the second games of the day having two teams that have already played a game that day. It doesn't matter what teams they are, it's just wrong, and no I am not a Charger parent.

And besides...these kid that have their 1st game at 8:00 AM will have been up since at least 6:00AM. This is unfair to the kids, BUT TBU does not care about them, TBU only cares about having TBU show will in Tournaments. Especially a tournament ran by TBU!!!!

You make this sound like this only happens at TBU sponsored tourneys. I'm sure TBU teams play under similar conditions at tournaments sponsored by other clubs

I agree. Play Soccer.

This is a SHOWCASE...One game per day should be the norm!! Especially for the top bracket in each age group.

Think of it this way...everything being equal about the two teams, in fitness, in soccer ability,...you name it. Team 1 plays a tough match in the morning...Team 2 does not have a morning game. Team 1 and team 2 play midafternoon. Which team will be the most recovered team, Team 2 because they have not played a morning game, they played the night before, which gives them more time for their muscles to recover. So now you have these two teams playing each other. Team 1 muscles are more fatigued then Team 2. So players on Team 2 should play better than those of Team 1. Who will get to a 50/50 ball more often??? Team 2 because they are less fatigued. So now a college coach sees that and says that a player on Team 1 is too slow. But in really is just more fatigued than the player on Team 2 because the Team 1 player had less time to recover.

So maybe TBU (Simms, or other clubs/tournaments that do this) should be sued because they are hindering my kid’s ability to get a fair look in front of college scouts.

Rest is obvious. You didn't mention hotel status. No joke, we have taken our Team bowling between matches. Great for bonding, relatively safe and usually cost effective. Not sure if this will work for your age group. Good Luck !!

Man those college coaches are pretty stupid you would think they would look at the schedules and figure these things out for themselves . Must make sure we let all those guys know this amazing piece of new information .

Bowling is a bad idea. You need to get the players off their feet. Go watch a movie.

How do you have 10 hours between games?

Brandon Towne Center is close. Also the Florida State Fair is going on at the fairgrounds.
