Washington Leaving US Youth Soccer

[Unregistered]

So what happens to upcoming Winter 2017 FWRL and ODP competitions? Will the WA teams continue to participate? If WA teams are out, makes it useless for OR teams.

Maybe the OR teams will finally win a game or two then...

Stupid questions if you read the declaration. WA teams are out. No 2017 FWRL and ODP competitions.

A few Oregon boys and girls teams already were in first place.

If you read the letter it states that Washington players are still considered registered for the seasonal year. US Youth would not just dump a state association and leave the kids stranded.

I anticipate that they will be in ODP Championships and the teams will continue to compete for the remainder of the seasonal year including regionals then transfer registration process for the new seasonal year come tryout time to a new Washington Youth Soccer that US youth will form.

US Youth can create a new state governing body but where will they get any clubs to join it? WYS didn't make this move on it's own. The big clubs forced this to happen.

No, it says their membership will be honored but there will be complications. Hence, the question.

There are 90,000 registered in Washington most of them are paying $12 to WYS. Only a fraction (although most influential) of those are "big clubs". There is no benefit to leaving for the vast majority so why follow WYS versus a new organization. If just the big clubs followed then the registration costs would be astronomical in order to keep the WYS office heads above water.

I guess time will tell how this all shakes out.

The "big clubs" constitute 100% of the teams and players playing in the RCL - the top state league. No one cares about rec - there is no money in that.

Word is that the new non-USYS WA league will include the FCP and Crossfire/THUSC. Goodbye OYSA.

Nope had already played all top WA teams. I think an 03G team and 04B team from Oregon placed first.
