Anyone heard that NPL Southwest is now canceled? Boys&Girls
Wait. You mean NPL Southwest only? Got confused with NPL West.Anyone heard that NPL Southwest is now canceled? Boys&Girls
The number of different leagues is completely ludicrous anyway; nobody wants to see businesses or organizations going under but if some leagues do not continue, it won't be a bad thing. The youth soccer landscape could do with a bit of natural selection at this point.Unfortunate timing, they tried to start in spring but was a no go and now these fall shutoff problems, have to wonder if the have the support from usclub for a year round league when there basically new?
Normally have to have a spring league to start before going year round with these NPL's. The market is much more crowded now & there's fewer players so might be a tough go this year.
I am going to disagree with regards the the Southwest NPL. The southwest is composed of mostly San Diego county teams, mostly teams that don't compete in any other league than the Presidio/SDDA. There is probably more chance that one of the other Cal. NPL leagues would shutter or fold. The market in San Diego is still ripe for more competitive, local competition. I agree that the timing was unfortunate, but the business model is still sound given the San Diego market.
I would say the "seaon(s)" will lead into the beginning of summer/end of spring for National Cup/State Cup. Then a quick tournament summer season and try to pick up in like normal again in the fall?
