Why are the Youth Club Championships in August?
The timing of this event has been discussed extensively and was quickly narrowed down to August or October. Youths’ lives are very neatly divided into four seasons: three school sport seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring) and the summer. The event should be held at the end of one of these seasons, so as not to require multiple seasons of participation for players. Since the Spring is already used for our High School Championships and the winter was impractical, August (the end of the summer) and October (the end of the Fall) were the only two logical choices.
