Fall season

[Anonymous]

Our club is giving us 72 hours to accept an offer for the Fall season and want us to hand over another $350. No mention of a refund if (when) the season does not happen. Anyone not accepting offers ?

Yes

Yes I know one club thinks they will lose 20-30% of their current players. It is what it is. You can either pay and hope there will be a season and club or not. Let’s face it if there is no season in the fall some clubs are going under.

Which clubs are pressuring people like this?

Did you ask about refunds, if there is no fall season?

We are leaving SYA and playing rec if there is a season, but the cost is a huge stretch for us financially. Hope my boys don't fall too far behind the kids who stay in travel this year.

Not planning to and have talked to a handful of parents of teammates who aren’t committing or will wait until end of summer and re-assess. That may leave the club in limbo, but they should cut the high pressure BS.

My oldest decided to not to play the next season and use the extra time to prep for SAT and ACT. We still got an offer even after telling the coach.

yes. exact same terms (longer to think about it) and we accepted. I anticipate we will be in at least in stage 2 and can do practices. I'm fine with that. bonus points for stage 3 with scrimmages ( wishful thinking).

the younger ages groups of BRYC had a deadline of yesterday. No idea on what percentage is returning.

They may lose players for good. My DD has a great many other interests that are more Zoomable than soccer and have provided much needed normalcy & enjoyment. We have no pressure from our club right now (kudos to them) but we'll see what she decides to do when things start to normalize.

Yep, Arlington, but they are using the same system / process they used last year - nothing changed, but still unforgiving considering the circumstances.
