Families who have pinned absolutely everything on that college scholarship going tooth and nail to get back on the field no matter what. Just been a real shocker.
This is what I find the most insane- 1.) how many colleges even have full scholarships vs. partial for soccer (for DI, 9.9 per team for men, 14 for women- teams are considerably larger, so DS or DD isn't getting a full ride) 2.) how many multiples of the scholarship money are you spending on team dues and travel?
Lets you kids play because they enjoy it and get something out of it, don't delude yourself into thinking it's their future.

Keep your kids at home if they are feeling unwell.
Parents can avoid unnecessary crowds. Avoid going to gyms and bars.

You really think the crazy soccer mom or dad is going to keep their kid at home? That’s two weeks without soccer...the kid will lose their form. Some will not even tell the club the kid is sick.
I have to admit this has been the most shocking revelation to me during this pandemic: the absolute 'play at any cost' attitude that exist amongst some soccer parents.
You see it here occasionally on DCUM, but if you go to some other sites like the Facebook Soccer Parents group you'll see it in full force from all over the country. Families who have pinned absolutely everything on that college scholarship going tooth and nail to get back on the field no matter what. Just been a real shocker.
I sort of trust my club to do their best, but really don't trust some of the parents on our side to follow the rules. Not sure what we will do when we start practice next month.

No, they absolutely won’t. Which is why you’ve witnessed the thefts that occurred in the past few months.

depends on cost structure- large clubs with high overhead may not fare so well

Easy. Continue paying team fees and get members to donate too.
