Supercopa 2016

interested to see how this will look closer to the Supercopa event.....which teams will be AP and which will not.    They are offering both divisions.

Does anybody have anything positive to say about SuperCopa? Albion is coming; that's all I got.

In some age groups ALL teams make the playoffs? In others, all but 1 team makes the playoffs. That doesn't seem odd at all.....

The age change appears to have wreaked havoc on this tourney. Out-of-state teams struggled to put together their teams after their seasons and give enough notice of travel to their players in order to participate. Hopefully it will be back in full Dribble next year.

Not particularly happy with the bracket C. The teams have already played each other for the most part. SB & SR have played 5 times. Fever and SB have played 4 times and El Paso has played SB & SR once each.

Oh well, at least, the weather forecast looks great! Good luck and safe play to all teams!!

Why would they put SR and SB in the same bracket?  Doesn't make sense.

Agree it makes zero sense.  The issue is the tournament should not have allowed traditional entry.  All traditional teams should have had to play AP. At some point, tournments, clubs, coaches, parents, etc. need to accept AP is here.  If a team doesn't have enough 06 AP and uses 05 players then just play AP05.  Otherwise, not sure what the motivation is to play traditional...hope to win the tournament playing down and use it to recruit.  

If the traditional Teams Had played AP then the 05AP division would have had at least two brackets versus one and the AP06 would have had two.  Then SR & SB wouldn't necessarily have to play each other in bracket.

Sorry for the long answer!

Easy answer = MW

If MW means what I think it does it isn't true in this case.   That person is assistant tourney director not tourney director.

9/10 years old. Who actually cares? Last time I checked no scholarships are handed out for this age group at this specific tournament.

USSF cares which is why they mandated AP

The most disturbing thing about the schedule to me is the fact that some teams may play 3 games on Sunday in the heat.
That's alot for those little bodies.

I am not sure what you mean 3 games. None of U10 teams would play in 3 games. Unless you mean players moving back and forth from the U11 to U10 division?

Nope. Was looking at the wrong age group.

You kick and sting parents are too much. Living through your kids way too much.

Scolding and blaming other parents all the time? bro, you failed to meet Solar Parent Behavior Standard

Btw, stay up all night before supercopa will not help your dd development.

Glad to see some Midwest teams coming out for 06G. Disappointed to see only one Cali team.

Schedulers for this tourney don't have a clue. Let's make AP and traditional when we barely have the demand to fill one. Let's have all of the local teams play each other on the same fields we played on last weekend. The INC teams have diminished over the last year. Tourney experience, heat, not prepped for AP, who knows.

Not sure if y'all have trained outside this week but it is brutal. Our DDs have been training in conditions that have been predominantly 10 or more degrees cooler. Personally I don't think they are conditioned enough yet for the heat. Expect less runs, less press, and less goals.

Please start your players diet and prep today if u haven't already. Help your coach and refs monitor players for their safety. Be safe and good luck! .

Thank you for your PM's. Great to see parents putting their players in the best possible position to ensure safety, and a competitive edge. A couple of things I used to follow as a player from the national pool and now incorporate into my players diet. I am no Dr. Oz but these are some of the things I do before and during the tourney.

I don't mean to scare anyone but as a player competing in a national Tourney it CO during first week of July the conditions were very hot, high 90's to 100, and of course the altitude. Again extreme conditions that a lot of people were not conditioned or prepped for. Unfortunately, a 40 year old male ref and a 14 year old girl passed away during play from the harsh conditions in one day.

Hydrate- At a minimum, A player should consume liquids equaling half of their body weight in ounces several days before and during the tourney. A 100lb player should drink 50 ounces or 3 standard size bottles of water. Again, a lil more wouldn't hurt. 1 bottle before 12PM, 1 bottle during the day, and 1 bottle at night, EASY! Stick to low calorie, low sugar. Water/G2 (Gatorade Low Cal) are the best.

Eat- About 20% of our water intake comes from food. These foods are all 80% or higher in water: Berries, Broccoli, Apples, Pears, Cherries, Grapefruit, Arugula, Spinach, Carrot, Grapes, Oranges, Grapefruit, Tomatoes, Pineapple, Cucumbers, Mango, Bell Peppers, Watermelon, and Cantaloupe.

Pasta, Pasta, Pasta- Find some healthy whole grain pasta, and a sauce your player likes that is healthy. Some linguine, with grilled chicken, tomatoes, and olive oil is perfect. Played for and with a lot of Italians and I have learned not to argue with them:) I would maybe do a bowl on Thursday night, and Saturday night.

Protein- CHX is the best. 30 t0 40 grams per day. Grilled or some stores have the healthy chx nuggets. Moms know!

Superfood- Can't go wrong with a bananas, especially for players that tend to get leg cramps/knots. Ate a banana after getting a severe knot in calf and it disappeared an hour or so later. Swear by them! Whole bannanas or sprinkle a little sugar or top with lil whip cream for player if need be.

Hope this helps, have a great experience. GO NTX!

excellent, thank you!

Colvin and I were having popcorn together, reading all the amazing submissions you have posted in last few months. He thinks he knows who you are now.

You better focus more on player development ! Work harder, otherwise you are not only going to lose this weekend, but also going to lose to us soon.

The secret to success is playing down an age group? Seem like trophy hunting in hopes you can add that to your many recruiting posts. Yall wont win even playing down. SRSA or Kicks, either one, can beat Black.
