Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing!
In our area, our u13-u19s stayed fairly about the same (and I’m saying that based on how many kids played club soccer in our area last year between TFC & GOS. With GPS now gone, many of their players still played, either with us or other local clubs). Where we saw a decrease was in the Jr. academy group as well.
The interesting bit that we saw this past year was a spike in our recreational numbers. We’ve had a major growth in that area, even with the pandemic.
