Shall we try to get something like this going for next season?
Being that districts will probably be smaller and don't mean much.
What say ye!?!?!?!

wouldn't it make more sense that this tournament would be played after the playoffs are over with? instead of waiting until the next season would start so that way teams wouldnt be without their stars that got them to the finals or semifinals

I also wouldn't base this on power ratings!

The only thing with doing it after playoffs is club players waiting to start their club season. League already starts two weeks after the championships.

Sounds great, but as usual, being in north seems to be a burden as far as travel time. Have hard time believing LHSSA would okay. Just a thought, but let's get rid of rule that does not allow club & HS players to participate in both at same time & stretch out HS season. It's a stupid rule.

And getting rid of the club/HS prohibition will also not occur, .. the club-HS rule is a really big deal in baseball, basketball too. I'm aftraid this whole "champions league" concept is not very well suited for high school sports in my opinion.

What abput a summer league grouping teams of similar geography for tournaments and then a final tournament weekend somewhere central. You could allow players thar were rostered but graduated if they are available as well as new players. Geo prelims one weekend in June and Finals a July weekend.

For those of us who have athletes already in three different leagues it would be a problem. We already play high school, ODP and club soccer. We travel extensively with club (regional league) as well as for ODP events.
Add to this issue that we already have the situation where Louisiana high school soccer is a winter sport, and as a result until recently we were not allowed to participate in some major show are tournaments like Disney. There were 5 from our team alone that missed the St Paul tourney to play in the Disney showcase. We don't need another event based on high school.
Finally, the cross divisional format will be a real issue. Many of the large division teams are loaded with seniors while the smaller division teams often have junior high students starting and playing key roles. I think it's a bad idea to create a format for a team 17-18 year old to have a competitive event with a team of 14-15 year olds which would almost certainly happen. We can't control biology and younger kids are often simply not at the same physical level as older ones.
With all due respect, the whole idea is rubbish and should be dropped. Leave the competitive soccer to the clubs where kids are rightfully grouped by age.

I don't have any problems with the proposal at all. But I do think it's a bit of tilting at windmills. High School sports are a separate animal to places where things like champions leagues are a part of the landscape.
Nothing wrong with a little tilting at windmills. Heck, my own thoughts on a format where things would be divided between schools loaded with year round players and schools where the kids want to play a couple of different sports is no less Quixotic.
Heck, I think even getting something simple like letting teams practice/play together during off season seems to be an un-doable thing.

Maybe if you were nicer to people they would support your ideas. Though I do think this person's issues seem to be with high school in general, which regularly pits freshman vs senior.

I think pokle hit nail on head about high school.... don't all sports put freshmen against seniors? Even some Division I schools start freshmen.

TWO of our best players at Covington were freshmen. I say make the playoffs the champions league. I'll put it in the simplest format for peeps to ponder. Besides, anyone that says, " it won't work" before ever looking at it really has no place in the discussion.
