Westfield Travel Soccer teams are encouraged to participate in 1-2 Travel Tournaments every season. The Teams may choose to participate in any Travel Soccer Tournament in which they meet the eligibility requirement. Nonetheless, the WSA Travel VPs & Coaches Committee will make recommendations for specific Tournaments from time to time. These recommendations are made based on input from the Travel Team Parent Coaches, outreach efforts to Tournament Directors and WSA Board experience. Recommendations are made based on the following considerations:

• Appropriateness for Higher &/or Lower flighted teams
• A history of balanced competitive flighting
• A history of schedules without unreasonable gaps between games
• Atmosphere and large complexes capable of hosting numerous games at a single site
• Quality fields
• Registration fees & discounts offered
• Distance from Westfield

Overall, the WSA makes recommendations to improve the overall soccer experience for its participating families. Concentrating our teams at various tournaments from time to time accommodates families with multiple players, increases fan support for Westfield teams during games, promotes camaraderie across teams and age groups, and generally strengthens the Club’s overall appeal.

In Spring 2010, two Travel Team Tournaments are recommended:
 - The Cougar 29th Annual Memorial Day Invitational: May 28-31 (Maplewood/S. Orange)
 - The Randolph Memorial Day Tournament: May 28-31

The Cougar Tournament

• Appropriate for both low and high flighted teams
• Registration closes May 2
• No additional discount is being made to Westfield teams attending the Cougar Tournament as the Tournament Directors have rolled back their registration prices for all teams this year for both large and small sided teams. The tournament is already priced very reasonably.

The Randolph Tournament

• Appropriate for both low and high flighted teams
• Registration closes no later than April 1. Divisions will close as they are filled.
• The Randolph Tournament will provide a $50/team discount provided Westfield has at least 15 teams participating. Participating teams will be rebated the $50 from the Tournament Director if we hit the 15 team minimum.
