Can also confirm that NVYLL numbers are way down. In my Rec area, the overall number of boys teams has decreased almost 50% in the past 5 years. Trending strongly away from players playing both Club and NVYLL A in the spring. With Clubs practicing 2-3 times a week in the spring, some are telling kids not to play Rec. But the exodus to Club can not be the only reason for NVYLL's decreased numbers. It is also kids not wanting to play for whatever reason. Football numbers are worse but concussions can explain a lot of football's problems. In reactionary fashion, NVYLL is looking into finishing its playoffs earlier so it does not conflict with early summer (early June) tourneys.
