Sounds like PSPL Washington Cup is basically dead in the water too. It doesn’t make any sense to even try to do them this year short of bringing in cash for the leagues. It would be surprising if tournaments are even allowed in Washington this summer. Teams haven’t played in a year and are already trying to ram in a short season in 2 months. Don’t know about anyone else, but my sons team is playing every Saturday and Sunday except Easter until May. Some teams are even scheduling games on Easter weekend. These “championships” have always just been cash grabs by the leagues, but it’s even more apparent when they are trying to hold them this year. Guess WYS need some way to keep giving themselves their crazy salaries.

It is not just state cup. There are a ton of games not being played either. If you didnt get a refund or a discounted rate for this year, it may be time to ask.

Our club “rolled” refunds into payments towards this year’s dues. They have been very active finding scrimmage and travel opportunities. We haven’t played league, but our teams trained more than ever. I’m not expecting any sort of “discount” next year.

our club didn't charge when training wasn't allowed, but continued to pay the coaches, gave us one free month of training once it was allowed. Organized scrimmages when they were permitted, but league games were not. We've got 16 league games that's only 4 less than a normal year, not gonna sweat it all thing considered.

28 x $550 x 2 seasons = minimum of $30k per club? Is that immaterial to you?
keep in mind most clubs charged full freight and received significant PPP funds.
I guarantee this was the most profitable season ever for soccer clubs. Some local clubs were struggling financially prior to COVID - FWFC, Sound... are you aware of any club that folded or laid off coaches?
I am not asking for a refund. But how about some transparency?
“Hey, we made more money than we expected this year, so we are increasing our scholarship fund and will be making it easier for kids to qualify”.
Easy
