If they survive fiscally, yes.
What happens if THE Saint James doesn't make it?
Their fate would be bad.
EVERYTHING depends on a fall season for most clubs. The fact that Loudoun is this vulnerable shows that no club is to big to fail.
No league affiliation will matter if there is no rec season or lower level travel soccer.
Clubs are all structured differently but for large clubs that rely on a rec program, they may be particularly vulnerable. There is much less in their control. For Loudoun’s rec, even if they wanted to continue it depends upon public schools being open to provide the fields. Most travel teams require public fields being open.
ECNL teams, contrary to popular opinion do not pay for themselves, they are loss leaders, a carrot that draws in large rec numbers.
