So, all clubs are announcing tryouts in late April and May. Under the circumstances, that seems very unrealistic. More likely all the restrictions on group gatherings will continue. Have any clubs addressed this? What happens if tryouts can't be held in April/May or even later? Do current teams just roll over to a new season?

Just don’t do them. Let’s be honest most teams are pre-selected anyways outside of a few tweeners and tryouts are pointless.

Well, Sounders cancellation is extended to May 9, so there is zero chance youth clubs will doing tryouts before then. They will need to announce cancellations soon and try to keep current teams together.

Highly doubtful tryouts will happen in May. Until schools open up, which probably won’t happen this school year) the soonest normal activity will probably start again is August (which is doubtful). Wouldn’t be surprised Fall HS sports are cancelled as well. If this happens, clubs should offer reduced fees.

Seattle United posted a video today with the directors saying that tryouts may only be held for younger age groups that still have new players entering the club. Basically confirming what we already know--the teams are pre-selected.

Wait, you mean the coaching staff who has been around these kids for years might know who should make the A team? Shocking.

I predict all the High School Fall sports season will be cancelled when both testing and an FDA approved vaccine is readily available. How club sports handle tryouts remains to be seen. I imagine the loss of revenue is going to shut many smaller independent clubs down permanently and bigger clubs downsizing staff. Many families won't be able to afford sports with the economic downturn and unemployment rates rising fast.
