Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe number of players participating in soccer is not increasing. It may well be that many clubs are increasing their numbers of academy/competitive players, but the number of overall participants in FYSA registrations are down year of year for the past decade. The biggest drop is in recreational soccer but that is the feeder to competitive. Pay to play is part of the problem, but so is the year long season for many people. My kids love year long soccer, but they have team mates leave the sport every year over wanting to play multiple sports or get involved in more non-sport extra curricular activities. It is a trend all clubs need to watch.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFastest growing youth sport up north is Lacrosse and that is making inroads in the south as well . Would probably attract the same demographics as youth soccer so probably contributes to the drop in numbers .

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLAX is a much smaller sport but is growing very quickly. More colleges are adding teams too. Youth soccer participation has actually dropped 15% in the past three years. Other sports are in decline as well but at not nearly the same drop off. More kids playing video games? Maybe that's part of it. But also the cost of youth sports is getting out of hand, plus all the travel etc. Some families are re-prioritizing.

Unfortunately in the US, soccer is a dying sport. What fueled some of the early interest was parents thinking that the sport would be a way for Little Mia to get money for college. What so many are now realizing is that college soccer is not nearly as glorious as it was made out to be. A lot of kids end up hating it.
