The sport industry is losing participants.

The following numbers from the Sportsplex Operators and Developers Association (SODA) highlight that people are not registering for leagues/events as they have in the past.

So far we have southern facilities reporting declines as high as 35% in league enrollments in baseball/softball.

The Northeast is getting clobbered as well with an average decline of about 24% in baseball/softball, 17% in youth soccer and 20% in Adult Flag Football.

Canada is down about 17-20% in baseball/softball thus far, according to Steve Russell, and it is early yet for signups.
