[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, they are very different things.  We shall see--I have seen travel baseball playing.[/quote]

Nobody has drawn any conclusions about what it means for youth soccer. But when baseball started numbers were level but our numbers are now starting to climb back up.

This is a very fluid situation but I would not dismiss the postponement of fall collegiate seasons as a nothing burger for youth sports. One is certainly a much bigger machine to simply change course BUT they did change course with certainly far more on the line than say NCSL. It is both easier to start and stop a season for NCSL than it is a D1 program.

Again, the frustrating part on these boards is for many people to not see the nuance in things or the shades of gray.

Scaled and proportional risk is one thing but folks seem to just want everything at once without any level of patience.

Postponing the A10 doesn't mean local youth soccer is going to be cancelled but it is certainly a canary in the mine-shaft that the fall will likely not go very smoothly either for local youth soccer.

rates may have gone up, but guess what?  more people went to more stores that were open during that time also.  there is zero correlation between youth sports and covid rates.  i'm happy to learn about them should they be scientifically proven.[/quote]

We have no idea how the fall season will go but it will most likely not be normal. It could be very front loaded will lots of double header weekends. Tournaments may be much smaller and more local or it could all be just peachy. My guess is based on local school plans, college sport postponements and the current trends is that people such as yourself are in for a lot of heartburn this fall if you don't build in some intellectual flexibility on the matter.

I believe we will have fall soccer but not the way it has been in the past and I will be happy to take what we can get.

And outside of baseball what youth sports are really even in session right now? Its friggin summer. There were virtually no youth sports in the spring and very limited youth sports in active season currently. So one cannot draw a correlation from something that simply doesn't exist in large enough numbers.

What bubble do you think soccer is insulated by? Fall high school sports in VA are postponed till spring. And if High schools are not using their fields do you think they are letting soccer clubs use them? It doesn't mean leagues will cancel but if access to HS fields are denied it makes schedules and field availability harder. [/quote]
