We go to a couple of tournaments a year. They aren't my favorite thing to do but they also aren't as bad as I feared they would be when we started going last year.
You're going to see some weird crap when you're on defense at those things, but it's been good for us to stress the rules of our coverage and help reinforce them for the kids, especially the underneath coverage. Also not bad for building in some "contingency" type calls, because we're almost definitely going to run into a couple receivers that are way better physically than our DBs at a tourney.
We also try to pick up a few times a summer where we can get together with another team and work more in the "joint practice" type of setting. Those are great, better than the tournament setting.
