Tournaments are a great way for players of all ability levels to build their skills. There are many different tournaments and some cater specifically to town teams, like Westwood that field travel teams in the BAYS soccer league. Tournaments usually offer different ability brackets as well so that you can find a match for your team.
Players from different Westwood teams may come together on the roster of a tournament team. This is fun for the kids to get to play with some of their friends who may not be on their regular travel team. See recruitment rules below including that all players must come from teams without a scheduled league game so that there is no roster conflict.
Here is a link to the Mass Youth Soccer website listing of tournaments. Feel free to contact your WYS Grade Coordinator or the director of coaching if you have more questions about putting a team into a tournament.

If it is a patch tournament, please contact our equipment coordinator at equipment@westwoodsoccer.org far enough ahead to get your supply of patches.
Also, do not forget to let our field coordinator know that you are canceling your game if it is a home game.
