What's your best guess as to when trainings will resume?

Covid19's getting stale. Country's on the brink of mass Civil disorder. Tensions escalating with China Daily and here we are in Petty California worried about face masks and social distancing.

I've said it from the beginning if things don't get back to normal soon the country will self destruct.

Sports are a very good distraction and need to resume quickly. People have zero form of entertainment at this point other than watching whatever agenda the news is pushing.

What happens to animal when you cage it and take away its food/freedom/toys...... It's going to be pissed off when it gets out. Lawmakers are seeing this with the general population and at this point I have no doubt things will open up sooner then later.

Wouldn't be supprised if August 1st comes around and we have ZERO restrictions.

“There are a lot of these kids who are going through some really, really, really tough emotional stuff right now,” said Bob Turner, executive director of the county’s largest youth soccer league and the new president of the Cal South, which oversees 272 clubs and 136,000 youth soccer players across Southern California. “They belong out there, on the fields.

“I’ve told my coaches: I don’t really care about soccer right now. I care about getting those kids back on the field for the social part of it. I know we’re going to be distanced at first, but they can still talk, they can still see each other, the coach can be a counselor of sorts. I don’t care about the Xs and Os. It’s much more about getting those kids back out there and seeing some positives.”


Turner hopes to be back on the fields by June 15, a date targeted by other youth sports organizations as well. San Diego’s popular Junior Lifeguards program sent an email to participants last week saying it plans to move forward with its first month-long session on June 15. Master Sports, which runs numerous leagues and summer camps across San Diego, cited June 15 in a mass email sent Saturday.

There are things you can do.

All the cone work is fine. Trapping and crossing drills work. Most passing drills work, though maybe not rondos. Obstacle courses are still fun. Cloth masks are ok on cool days.

It is not ideal, but masks and distance would be better than no practice.

Just dont break all the rules and make them yank everyone's field permits.

Daughter has been doing shooting drills with 4 girls plus her at keeper and easily keeping distance. Could easily make that 8 plus a keeper. Have another 8 do passing drills in groups of 4 in a different part of the field, you have 17 right there, no contact, all safely distanced. Lets do that for 2-3 weeks starting now, see how that goes, then we start light scrimmages, play games by middle of July. FYI I'd put Riverside County on the same time schedule as San Diego. Maybe June 8th.

It's hard to say it's cheating unless the coach is involved, but shooting on the keeper is probably not going to be allowed (but a rule widely disregarded) at least initially. The proposals in the other states mostly say that the players need to bring and play with their own balls. Plus the keeper will have wet (hopefully not spit) on the gloves for them to properly work.

It's interesting what's happening in South Korea. All the experts said we needed testing testing testing to contain the virus and avoid lockdowns. But South Korea is going back into partial lockdown and the schools (after being reopened) are being shut in some regions. In one school in Seoul, despite the mask requirements and despite the distancing put in place, an art teacher passed coronavirus to a kindergartner and now the schools in the area are closing. Either we are going to open up, or we aren't and we'll just have to live with the consequences but we can't be constantly shutting down...school won't work that way and we won't be able to have a soccer season. Either we take the risk or we don't.
 
Family is in Sedona this week....If you have not been...go...one of the most beautiful places I have been...mini family get together...8 of us total so need for people to panic...no pool party or anything like that...

AZ is more open than CA and here are some of my observations....saw a dude in a pool wearing a mask...wish I had my phone to take a pic...not wearing gloves though....restaurants open....people wearing masks while waiting to be sat, they are seated and then take their masks off...and my favorite is not being allowed in an elevator because two people were already in with their masks on...husband and wife opposite sides of the elevator....they shut me out...made me sniff the under arms....I wonder if they wear masks in their rooms...I’m really curious how people come up with their personal pandemic/covid safety code...some of the stuff is very entertaining. They are all just doing their part.

Anyway....my all-time is always when I pull up to a driver with a mask and gloves on....what??? How many people have masks on while posting? Should we start a poll?
 
So my daughter with 4 teammates wasn’t allowed to stop shots[no coaches as it looks like 14 year old girls know how to organize and social distance better than half of America] but at the same park 5 x 5 basketball was going on?

After 100,000 coronavirus cases, it’s clearer where Californians are getting infected

As communities begin lifting restrictions on churches, schools and other large gatherings, the state’s major outbreaks offer clues to where health measures are most needed going forward.

"For the same reason, California’s efforts to close down parks and other outdoor gathering spots may have been overkill, when the health officials should have been focusing more on controlling the spread in congregate living and work settings, experts say."

Laguna was packed again yesterday and I mean bumper to bummer all on PCH and the sidewalks were crowded. Everyone is laughing and enjoying a beautiful evening. I then go home and what I saw on TV last night was not social distancing. People of all colors are pissed off. Young people are frustrated and scared of their future. I think everyone who went out yesterday to protest ((my friends kid was down in LA protesting peacefully, but he told his papa another group of some "white" girls came out of some vans with signs and screaming the way only girls can and yelling at cops in their faces with something else in mind)) should now stay home for 14 days. Everyone is getting paid too from government stimulus and unemployment checks and some are just paid riot professionals and now they can start riots, fires and destroy property and get paid to do it, only in America can you get paid to do nothing during the day and then come out at night and cause destruction. I pray for peace, I really do. I shared about the sh*t my bro Bruno with through in the 90s as an educated and pretty much perfect black man and he still had it harder than me and road blocks for job interviews and all that important stuff to survive on the planet. However, he pushed hard and kicked ass and never made that an excuse and is a big time black principle today. We had a long talk last night and we need to pray for everyone. We really do. We all need help to reboot this country. I want fairness for everyone and I hope we can move closer to that direction in the USA!!!

June 1 is here and school is over in a week for all school districts. Trust me when I say that most of us will begin to get our kids to practice with other kids. California covid has failed. It’s been a slow burn that can last for 9 months and this might work in a lab experiment but not in real life.

All kids have been locked up for almost 3 months and no healthy kids are dying. My friend Bruno told me it's going to be very tough to teach in the fall too under the current plan. CSU plan is for online in the fall but more teachers & parents are speaking up saying we need something better. He told me of one idea I like. Have Fr and Soph go to school every other day and the Jr and Sr go the other days. I like that. My dd has volunteered to study online Mon-Fri and then show up for lunch, then ceramics class and then sports. That is perfect schedule for my dd.

  • An outbreak of more than 1,100 infections among inmates and staff at a federal prison complex in Santa Barbara County is among the biggest concentrations of cases in the country.
  • The nearly 17,000 residents and workers infected in California’s skilled-nursing and residential care facilities for the elderly make up more than 16% of the state’s total COVID-19 cases.
  • The more than 2,000 who have died at those facilities make up more than half the state’s coronavirus deaths.

Yesterday was the day social distancing died. If it's o.k. to get together to protest peacefully (let alone riot and loot) why can't kids have graduations? Why can't they go to camps? Why can't they go to soccer practice? Hell, given the size of these protests and lack of distancing why would we be worried about tournaments as big as Surf? If we're going to do that, then open it up and let's take our chances. Kids have borne the brunt of this in the name of "saving grandma" but are the least vulnerable and it's not fair to them. Open it up. Let the kid's play.

If the kids and young adults don;t play and exercise, they will find something else to do, like rioting and drugs and sex and alcohol and vaping. 16-22 young men are warriors in our history on this planet but not no more. The "warriors" are at home doing nothing right now except playing violent video games with guns and war and the spoils of war. Hate is the root and where all the fear and anger reside in the soul.
 
Open up immediately. This is a total government overreach. Letting the asylum run amok. Biden staffers bailing out protestors, zero bail, suicide deaths in 4 weeks have been more than the death by virus in California, and the kids taken the brunt of this experiment.

I was watching the mayor of LA live presser yesterday and someone asked him if the National Guard was going to be called and he said, "No Guard needed, LA is prepared because of the LA Riots in the 90s and were too good basically." As he's talking, the scene I'm watching on tv from LA is way out of control and listening to the mayor some more I realized that this guy is so out there and talking with zero conviction or something else is going on. Plus he's saying we have the Corona to deal with on top of mass rioting and from his viewpoint most of the protesters were practicing social distances and where obeying his mask guidelines. I told my wife this guy is drinking kool aid and if he doesn;t call the army to help asap he will have way more problems on his hands. Sure enough, he called them up 2 hours later. Now he should let the kids get back to school so they can learn and so they can play sports and then get a job someday like the rest of us. If you dont want to work and contribute to our society, then their will be consequences for that. It's a choice. If a man don;t work, a man won;t eat is my motto. We have politicians right now telling folks they will give them more money so they can sit out and not work until Jan 2021. That is a bad idea imo. Do these politicians actually believe that the youth will just sit around and be good little angels? Play ball and get back to the basics or have riots is what I see right now. So basically what we have today, is the healthy and law biding folks need to shelter in place and let the rioters and looters have all the fun and take and steal? I saw lot's of smiles on some of those faces. I watched interviews and some of these folks are pissed too and will kill and destroy for their cause of not wanting to work and contribute.

Covid just took a back seat. This feels worse than the Rodney kings riots because we are combining health issues, social issues, and unemployment. Our generation is leaving a mess to the youth. My son told me “ your generation messed up this planet, you didn’t take care of the earth, you didn’t take care of the race issues, and you guys are stuck on political hatred” He is so right.

Tell your son it will get better but I wouldn;t place blame on anyone right now. WE ALL need to help to make better. This generation also inherited this country too and all the past sins. I see hope :) I would also say that this generation has done more for the planet than any other generation. Lastly, tell him politics will never go away and it's bad right now. It was bad in the 60s too.
