How are travel tournaments handled?
Detailed tournament sites, dates, and schedules will be posted closer to our season start. Tournament sites vary. Some of the sites we attend travel to are Charleston, Columbia, Asheville, Aiken, Atlanta, along with tournaments held locally that we host. Tournaments each team plans to attend will be set prior to the season. Regional teams are normally attending tourneys within 2 hr drive.

Which tournaments do the teams attend and how often?
Due to increase in teams, it is much more difficult to get spots in tournaments.. we must wait to see if we get all our teams in. This is out of our hands.. we do attempt to get all our teams in scheduled tournaments.. and do guarantee our minimums. We may apply to one and not get in and have to settle on another date or location. Schedules should be set by mid December.

Beginning in mid to late January, we will attend tournaments approximately every other week-end (Tournament schedule available later ) Regional tournaments are held on Saturdays , and we normally travel to and from the tournaments in the same day. The majority of our tournaments are located in South Carolina. These are ALL day tournaments, normally 8-6pm.

You must notify both the coach and team rep 3 weeks prior if you can’t attend a tournament.

How do we determine what division a team is placed in tournaments?
Coaches and the director will jointly decide what division a team is placed based on the level of play based on what the team is capable of. There are up to 3 divisions in a tournament per age group. (Club, Power, and Open) Sometimes we have to accept what is available.

How is playing time at tournaments handled?
READ CONTRACT FOR DETAILS.
Most parents want or expect their child to play most, if not all the time during tournament play. This is the number one problem of clubs throughout the United States. We hope the following will resolve most concerns. Club South has designed a program to offer everyone a choice. All players should get equal PRACTICE time.
Club South will have NO guarantee of playing time for the National teams.
Regional teams will offer fair playing time to each team player. Fair is not equal, we will play your daughter as much as possible taking into consideration her position, practice time attended, skill level and competition.

If during the season you are not satisfied with playing time, you may request to be moved to a lower team. Do not approach a coach with concerns at a tournament. The time to discuss playing time is after the tournament.

How it works when team has officiating duty at tourneys?
Teams are required in each tournament to work some matches as the officiating team ( referee, line judge, and scorekeep) Everyone on the team is required to stay.. and work. No one leaves until team duty is finished. At NO TIME is a parent allowed to yell at ANY officiating team. Teams are fined and placed on probation should a parent do this.
