There is nothing really from August to November anyway
Although I agree with you, it is changed forever and not going to change. Every club now trying to lock up kids as early as possible. Tryouts, commitments and deposits within a 24 hour window before July is even over. Tournaments and tryouts have killed family summers and vacations. If you're lucky you'll get a few weeks to enjoy the summer before the kids are back to school. If the kids are playing football they'll be back at it late August. Money, money, money.
