I'm always amazed at the amount of complaining about schedules, "indoor rules", etc. more so in this age group then any. My dd's have played in the spano for many years and in going you KNOW how the indoor tournament is. Even after the yearly complaining by folks it continues to grow in number each and every year.
Where else can you go even in the summer and play in a group of 20 or more teams in one tournment? (other then a national tourney)
Where else can you go and play in the dead of winter, or get a chance for your team to play before the high school break.
As for admission charges, which many tournaments especially the popular ones charge, they offer a weekend pass JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. I don't mind paying to watch alot of the competition for the season, or watching former teammates. These places have HUGE expenses to make these facilities available. Imagine your own personal utility bills then image what it would cost for a place of that size.
There is a choice if you don't like it.......don't go !
