Although, we do think this will be a great experience for they boys, at this time we feel the boys need to fine tune their skills before we enter into a higher level of tournaments. I agree with the Frosts, it would be heart breaking to travel so far and spend so much $$$$ to see their hopes get knocked down. To that end, we opt out for a far travel tournament at this time

Crespo: Poll: What do you think about trevlling far for a tournament (i.e.VA) in the spring? — We already have travel plans between Apr-8 and Apr-17 (which is the recess week in our town) - I am afraid Fernando would need to skip the spring tournament

Acestone: Summer Select — Alan will opt out for summer select. Unless I here some more info that it will be different than from what i have seen in the past. School ends june 24 and soccer starts back up 2nd week of August. Family needs those 6-7 weeks of a break. Can't do the tournaments or maybe 1 local tournament or scrimage.
