As I've stated before, we've got a fair-to-middlin' 18U team for the 2022 spring/summer season. We're looking for a fun travel tourney for the girls, and I thought I'd ask here if anyone had ideas. We're thinking maybe something in Las Vegas or the Orlando/Space Coast area. It doesn't need to be a showcase or any scouting opportunity, but we'd like it to be fun and have some teams from all over there. Sine it's our only big one of the year, cost isn't a huge issue. We're in Colorado, so travel costs have to be considered, but mostly we'd like to give the girls a fun time before they go off to college.
Y'all have a lot more experience in this kind of thing than me, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone had suggestions. Or if you know a smaller tourney in a destination area -- one we could just slide into without it being a major draw for national teams. We know we'll likely be overmatched, but the overall experience would be worth it. We thought about OKC for the World Series, but at 18 we think the girls might be a little old for the kind of hero worship stuff that really makes that a great trip (and we did it three years ago).
So anyone with local knowledge have a tourney they think is pretty cool?
