Guys, I guess I understand the principle of the thing--my kid's not getting coaching so I want my money back. But most people on this forum make a lot more than the average youth soccer coach, and those coaches are the vast majority of where your money goes. If you want coaches (generally) and your coach (specifically) to be there on the other side of this, then you want them to keep getting paid. In fact, you should reach out to your coaches and make sure they are doing ok through this. Most don't live lavish lifestyles or have a lot of financial cushion. Believe it or not, most are in it because they love soccer and working with (our) kids, even if they are imperfect at it.
(And no, I'm not a coach, I'm a parent. And no, if you have lost your income or security, I'm not talking to you; you should reach out to your club and have an honest conversation about a partial refund.)
Well said! 100% agree.
Thx Coach! Work the boards.

This. The OP jumped the gun.
That shouldn't be coming from a manager....it should be coming from the league.
I haven't heard anything like that yet.
BSC had a team manager meeting last week and that is what they said. I was in the meeting too.
No matter how unlikely the spring season is, lots of travel leagues have not been officially cancelled and they are just pushing the schedule to a later date again and again. And clubs have to wait. But in the meeting they are pretty clear there will be refund.
