With no season in the foreseeable future... will clubs suspend or cancel training?
What is the forecast for the next six months?

Clubs have no choice but to toughen it out. Unfortunately many will fold but the thing is if the coaches & parents have a good relationship who’s to say some clubs won’t make their way back!!I heard some clubs have lost 10-15% of their kids... will this delay cause another 10-15% to go elsewhere.. I have seen baseball and tennis pickup ... I was wondering if consolidation would occur or are clubs just going to tough it out.
Why would clubs suspend training when it's allowed? League is only 10-14 games and last 3 month (I'm not talking about ECNL). What clubs do for the rest of the time? They are training. I don't think League games (which eventually will happen) will have impact on people leaving. If training will be put on hold again, then it's another issue.With no season in the foreseeable future... will clubs suspend or cancel training?

i agree with everything you said... My concern is that kids will get bored with training... my kid enjoys the game... he thrives on the competition... training doesn’t have the same pizazz as the game.Why would clubs suspend training when it's allowed?

Man, what area are you in? Thats awesome.The lack of league games is not stopping the boys from playing. In our area the older HS boys have formed their own "league" and scrimmage every week. There are no coaches and they manage themselves. There are enough boys to have four teams, and the last scrimmage that I watch, I saw four different club teams. They don't schedule any fields, they don't ask permission of any authority, they don't ask permission from their clubs. They just do it.
My son does something similar with his friends on Fridays. They hop the fence at a high school where the field is hard to see from the road. It is bringing back his love of soccer after 4 years in the DA pretty much sucked all the fun out of it.The lack of league games is not stopping the boys from playing.
