On the one hand, I get the disappointment, but honestly, if the kids can still play and scrimmage each other within their clubs, I'll be reasonably happy.

Are you saying you are comfortable shelling out somewhere between $2-3K for intraclub practice games?

Boy am I flabbergasted.

Different poster but yeah compared to where we were a few months ago where it seemed like no youth sports at all was a possibility - practices and scrimmages are a big improvement. I think the season will happen - cases in the players age range are well under control and there is not yet any sign of COVID-19 spread from youth soccer and full practices have been running since 7/1.

Agreed. It is not ideal but a lot better than the alternative of nothing

How much money do you mofos make to be contempt with shelling out around 3 grand for crappy scrimmages? Honest question.

I’m poor but even if I made 6 figures like you I still would NOT pay such monies for such a lame ROI.

Did you mean "content" instead of "contempt"? As to seeing a return on investment...I guess it depends on what your goals are from a season. Is it that your kid improves? If so, keep in mind that just because your kid might not be playing league games, it doesn't mean that your kid wouldn't improve through training and scrimmages. For example, my kid trains does supplemental training outside of team practices twice a week. There are NO scrimmages associated with this training. He is motivated by getting better. If your goal is to move up from D3 to D2 in NCSL, then yeah, you won't see any return on your investment. If your goal is for your kid just to get exercise and socialize, then scrimmages are fine there too.[/quote]

I agree, my goal is for my kid to improve.  I also don't really think of him in terms of an "ROI."   He enjoys soccer and wants to scrimmage, so if I can get that for him and he's exercising, improving, and happy, I'm happy.

Also, our family does make six figures, but if we didn't, we wouldn't be investing in travel soccer, which we view as a nice thing for my son, but not a need.[/quote]
