Coop - are we raising chickens??

Having gone through this consideration recently, there are tourneys that will not take "all comers" - depending upon the level and/or type of tourney you want your team to play in, you may or may not get in if you are not an established club. This becomes more an issue with older boys who are in their recruiting ages - but, you have to consider that even if that has no bearing now, when they get to that age, your sons will all have to now deal with that then: are you going to all look to move to another established club that can get you into those tourneys?
