USCCs boys schedules are out, first time in recent memory that SD is hosting. Have there always been Friday morning games? I remember only Friday afternoon games on the girls side. Friday 8a start at Granite Hills/Steele Canyon is rough.
Last year the 12U boys played on Friday.
It’s always been Fri-Sun
More prestigious than Futures on girls side until recently, and well-run (aside from Santiago scoreboard going down every year on Sunday and the time-and-a-half maintenance guy needing to be called)
But never Friday morning games I can recall
Keep in mind that boys tourneys are usually bigger than the girls side, so they need a full schedule of Friday games to accommodate. USCCs were held in San Diego for the girls right after COVID year and they did a great job. San Diego area are used to hosting large tournaments and they seem to always do a great job
Ah you’re right, thunderstorms at Santana iirc. Maybe pre covid.
But here are the last Friday game times
12U 330p
14U 415p
16u 415p
How about push them all back 3.5 hours and start at noon instead of 8a? Friday night lights is cool but Friday wake up at 5am and drive to East County not so cool

Brazil has a World Cup game that Friday at 5:30. Gotta leave folks time to watch this game 
Lots of top clubs not participating in Uscc on the boys side, some clubs even sending B teams. I wonder how the girls side is going to look. Why are clubs not attending this prestigious tournament ?
Is USCC an invite only or can any club sign up??
Too many events in Southern California over the course of a year. Hard to justify going to JOs, Futures, Kap 7, Club Champs, High School Champs for clubs outside of So Cal.
Summer vacations after quals perhaps?
I think on the boys side, Futures has become so big an important, that USCCs and Cal Cup are relegated lower in priorities, often for their B teams.
On the girls side USCCs is still a ‘prestigious’ tournament, as Futures is still building up in importance.
It seems like Cal Cup might be in trouble overall
16u and 18u girls schedules are out:

Schedules are out. Wonder if the wristbands will be 50$ to watch your kid play.

Thought it was $36 plus whatever fees apply?
Yes. We get the privilege of paying to watch the games. $38 per person is the best way to make sure we can bring more people to spectate and grow the sport 
On another note, I just found out on their website that if you are playing at Chapman at any point there is a way to get a free parking permit. The link is on the main Future’s website.
Edit: For accuracy, I had my threads confused. Futures does charge this weekend, not sure about Club Champs.

It is mind blowing that a minor signed up and paying to play a fairly dangerous sport does not get 1 pass for a guardian to attend. I honestly think thst is a bit crazy.

So no bracelets for individual days I assume? So you have to pay full fare if you have no kid in tournament but want to watch the final?
V- ball is not on par with water polo for violence that I have ever seen.
Boys side Futures Super Finals is missing Greenwich 12U but has pretty good coverage outside of that.
Results vary though. Last year Mission won 12U at Futures but only managed 5th at JOs.
CHAWP didn’t qualify a Chamionship team in 12U boys (14th at So Pac qualifier).
I was looking at more of the girls side, namely CHAWP 14s. Also, just because it’s a contact sport does not mean we as parents get to weasel out of 30ish dollars for attendance. The money usually goes to the clubs hosting the tournament. Lots of fees to be paid just to get pool time. I ran a club years ago and at that time it would cost us 200$ an hour for pool time. Big clubs can secure lots of pools, but the more pools means more money
