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

So it’s confirmed, both my girls’ Fullerton Rangers teams start practicing next Tuesday. Parents, managers and coaches have been provided extensive guidelines on how these practices will be managed. I give them props as they have done a remarkable job in 1) negotiating with the city to get back on their fields and 2) getting all these guidelines together.
Let’s hope all goes well. :)
Local's only is the way to go I think :) Go Rangers. The Rangers were always dangerous and they do good with their sports. Go Fullerton!!!
 
No one is really losing money Chiefs like the GP. Lost income, sure but it's a park for all to play and no one can play. So they all go to Salt Creek and Monarch Beach and Strands and all over Laguna nad Newport and go to the beach. Interesting.......no soccer????
Correct, they're losing massive monthly income.
 
Riverside county is allowing professing sports teams and gyms to open today but not youth sports. Professional sports are not allowed to have spectators.

Here is the county release.


I think the county is probably trying to come up with specific requirements for youth sports. They are probably also afraid of a sport like football with very close contact and a shared ball passed with hands which constantly touch mouth guards.
 
Correct, they're losing massive monthly income.
How? I went to Aliso Beach on Tuesday at 3pm and the parking lot was full. Not many are working right now and their at the beach exercising and getting their tan. The parks are closed for some reason. GP is a county park, right? Sold by the Government? I used to watch fighter jets go over my house every day and then of course the Blue Angels would come and do their thing......

City of Irvine owns it I guess. So no play because?
 
What rules are they using for back to practice?

We have new guidelines for players drop off/pick-up, for parents presence at fields, for players equipment (Bottles, balls, shin guards etc) and of course for coaches. That’s all I know for now.
 
If true, that's unconstitutional, someone should sue them...post the letter if you can....thanks...

Good Afternoon,
We have received multiple reports of unpermitted field usage at Irvine Unified School District fields and OCGP. We understand everyone is eager to return to play, but please remind your organization, coaches, and participants that all athletic field facilities in the City of Irvine are still closed until further notice. The same penalties can apply for groups holding organized activity without a permit ( loss of allocations/field use, consideration for future use, fees, etc.) We appreciate your help in addressing this matter. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Facilities Management Team, Athletics
Community Services, Orange County Great Park
 
That is such an inaccurate and deceitful statement; tell your DR friend to stop the fear mongering..thanks!
I think I'll trust the point behind what this well known endocrinologist says, who actually was told that by a close friend who is a disease medical expert, rather than some wanna be know it
Youth soccer, especially youngers, is fine. AZ or anywhere.

Parents are higher risk, and should distance and mask.

The dangerous part is the beer after the game in an air conditioned restaurant. not dangerous for the individual, just likely to spread disease if too many of us do it.
I wish people would take a step back and take a look at Brazil where there hasn't been as much physical distancing and look at the number of children who have been infected and have died. I think we did a pretty good job once everyone sheltered in place but now with everything opening up, which is great, people are not really trying to physical distance much anymore and not enough face masks. At least the kids aren't in school for the summer that will help. Hope everyone stays healthy until the big biotech firms and vaccine specialist finish their work. There are a few things that look really good going into phase 3 trials and a couple of very hopeful therapeutics. We shall see.
 
You people amaze me... this thing is coming to get you and you are going to trying to rationalize how to get around it... breath deep my friends this thing has outsmarted us all.

What was the devil’s greatest feat. Making everyone believe he didn’t exist...

I know your fearful but let me provide facts so your not so uptight:

SB county- Population is 2.2 million people: ZERO deaths from age 0-30 (222 overall of which 180 over the age of 65);
SD county-Population is 3.25 million people: 3 deaths from 0-30 (all above the age of 25).;
LA county-Population is 10 million people; 72 deaths from 0-40 (doesn't breakdown specifics just says up to age 40)

Total-Population is 15.5 million people of which zero (more than likely) deaths from age 0-18;

Those stats scream out to all to OPEN the soccer fields. Complete incompetence by our governor, health officials, and Cities. Parents above 60 should stay home or sit in a secluded area away from others.

I suspect the Brazil cases of child covid deaths are covid, mixed with severe malnutrition. Similar to what is happening in Indonesia.

Happy to read a link if you have one. And thanks for the reminder to support MSF.

I think the county is probably trying to come up with specific requirements for youth sports. They are probably also afraid of a sport like football with very close contact and a shared ball passed with hands which constantly touch mouth guards.

Our local school district rolled out the summer sports pre-season training plans for when county gives the o.k.. Golf, teninis, swimming, and volley o.k. Cross country o.k. but virtual races only (e.g. runners leaving a different times running against the clock). Soccer lacrosse baskbetball and water polo o.k.ed for distanced skill training only. Football and equestrian were the only no -go sports and they aren't looking to issue 3rd party field permits, at least not right now.
 
My kid is 10. ECNL isn’t really the question unless I get bored and start thinking out three to four years. (she’s good, but nowhere near good enough to play up 3 years into ECNL)

It does bug me that we’re all stuck at home because some people can’t follow simple rules about masks and parties. We could be out playing in sunshine.

Instead, some dumb shits have to throw Memorial Day parties, infect their friends, and convince the health department that we all need another two weeks of being bored stiff.
Question becomes....how long do we kick the can down the road? You have to open up at some point and even when you think you have the “all clear” by even the most conservative of “experts”. Yes, this virus will continue to pass thru societies for decades if not generations. Just as so many viruses before COVID continue to do today.

There will be another spike as we open, it’s inevitable. Hopefully we have made good use of the time we quarantined, learned and prepared.

I am not fearful just a pragmatist. I am looking forward to having soccer back on track. Trust me. Those are pretty good numbers, but you also need to remember, those numbers are without school, without sports, without kids hanging out at the mall, going to the movies, going to yogurt shops, going to football games and parties, without much interaction if any with friend's families and neighbors. Hopefully with summer and fall always being a time of low viral spread and no school during the summer, we will do great. Come late fall, early winter, who knows.
