All the people posting and then back tracking once they actually read the case. And the bolts coaches sending it to players they want from GPS. Going to be some shocked faces when gps are on the field again. But I’m sure we will have more exciting exaggerated stories before that.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHeard from a GPS family today actually. Their coach was laid off and told not to contact his players. The family has had zero contact from GPS regarding the remainder of the season, refunds/credits, etc. They aren’t going back to GPS in the Fall. That is one example among thousands right now that are playing out among GPS teams. Then there are the teams going to other clubs wholesale. What’s going to be left?

This is unraveling quicker than I could ever imagine. I thought GPS would be done in 1-2 years. They are finished and will not open for business next Fall. Wow!

GPS won’t be able to avoid the creditors that are chasing them for much longer. No matter how much you love or hate GPS, they will be a thing of the past very soon and so will all the money families paid. GPS will most likely be liquidated before the fall.

Things will get interesting, but all of club soccer will be changing ... that’s pretty obvious.

Club soccer is a racket (not to say that other sports aren’t too... just focusing on soccer). People have known it for years. There is the constant stupid moves within the orgs like birth year changes, constant league changes, etc, drama amongst clubs and all that. With things always happening so rapidly, practices, games, tournaments, travel, then tryouts again to start it all over... Many of us could never really breathe and make decisions based on the best moves and situations for our kids (or players making decisions themselves based on age). This sort of unwanted time out (pandemic), parents / players may have woken up to the fact that they are ok without the constant pay more, travel more, D1 scholarship dreams (lol...).
The entire landscape will be very different in the years to come, there is no doubt in my mind.

That is what I saved by not having spring season.
