[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone think the Big 10 canceling Fall Soccer season will have an effect with youth soccer in our area?

I think if ACC cancels too, it would effect the decision making of the DMV political leaders.

Directly no, but indirectly, yes. College sports were providing 'cover' for youth sports, allowing them to say it can be done outside of the 'bubble' model of the pros. But with that falling apart, the idea that a university, with doctors, trainers and money cannot compete in this environment but a youth club with a single coach and volunteers can is going to be a harder argument to make. I can see many county authorities follow this and move to shut down parks and facilities. [/quote]
Except kids teams are smaller. With fewer coaches. Less people. Less spread.[/quote]

Also coming from a former D1 college athlete. Most Colleges especially at the bigger D1 levels. The amount of time spent together with most if not all the schools athletes would be mind boggling to most people. Practices, training rooms, weight rooms, dining halls, study halls, athletic dorms. more time is spent around the athletic department than the academic part by far. So Kids training 2-3 times per week for 2 hrs and a 2 hr game once a week is much less a risky environment .[/quote]
