Travel Teams - use of "Gold" Label

[slapperdad]

As my daughter got along in her career, I was less interested in gold vs. silver vs. elite and more interested in GREEN.

Perhaps you could share with us where these 10U teams are playing "gold"?

When I played, teams didn't have the right to call themselves Gold until they truly qualified at a Gold level tournament. Unreal how many teams think throwing the name "gold" onto their name will make them sound better. I don't care what your name is, I want to see what you put on that field!
