I think it depends on where you live (county) and your club's access to fields. In North San Diego County Surf started "camps" last week and formerly known as LAGSD is starting this week. Surf has more room with the polo fields whereas LAGSD uses city fields. The state hurdle for some counties seems to have become resolved (LA is the exception), and Cal South seems to have signed off (as long as the clubs follow the protocols). I don't know what will happen with clubs that rely on school fields as school access still seems very limited (my kid left her gear at school before the lockdown & has been told she can get it when school returns in fall).
What's your best guess as to when trainings will resume?

Hahahahaa. You took the words right our of my mouth. I watch Mr Lemon and Mr Tucker to get a pulse on things. This will only get worse before Nov 8th, I mean Nov 3rd. Then we have to deal with the winning side and all their hi fives and all those crying, "no!!!!!!!" "why why why" It doesnt matter who wins, it will get nasty and nasty like dangerous.
You got to admit. It was embarrassing the way those two cops were dropped like a fly by this drunk guy. Don't they have to pass some kind of a physical strength test? No wonder they rely on their guns so much.

In Australia cops will frequently offer to drive the intoxicated person home. Different mind set.

That is not on the cops. That is the policy set forth by local governments.
So SD has started and OC sounds like its practicing now or soon based on the day camp allowance. LA?
What's everyone's best estimate on when will competitive game play will resume? But for the day camp allowance, youth sports are still technically not allowed.
Given the restrictions I've seen so far for schools, I'd wouldn't be surprised for game play not to be approved until January 1. However, I'm going to be optimistic and say September 1. (I don't see Surf Cup and others happening in August). I will not be surprised if some political desk jockey tries to implement some weird rules like no throw-ins and game play stops when a ball hits the hand of any player, deliberate or not, and the game ball is replaced with a recently sterilized ball.
Hmm, baseball games, without fans, have started in San Diego.

I put up a poll to see where we are at so far so vote if you haven't yet
www.socalsoccer.com
For the olders a high majority of my sons friends don't have return to practice dates yet with the biggest stumbling block being facilities not open or renting yet, July being the best estimates.
For youngers maybe with the camps starting up they could do the later August tournaments but will county health officers ok that, big ??
Olders I just not see how they will have enough time to get into proper playing shape or form in time for early August stuff like Surf but some might try it anyway. My player has no reason to risk it and nothing to gain from that so he not even considering that as a option and will be traveling somewhat before school starts again.

Last Saturday I watched FC Barcelona in its first match back since March. A couple of changes were implemented to lower the risk of injuries:
-Five subs per game instead of three (I think this is across all pro leagues now)
-Cooling breaks at the 32:00 mark of each half, even though Barcelona's match started at 10pm local time
I expect and hope youth leagues will implement similar measures when we return to actual games.
Some other interesting/silly observations:
-The stadium was empty, but they superimposed a computer generated image that made it look like a Wii game.
-They also added fake crowd noise. It did make the game more enjoyable than just showing an actual empty, quiet stadium.
-If you're on the pitch, everything goes. But if you're on on the bench, you have to social distance. LOL.
-Not much in-your-face complaining to the referees. Not sure if players are just happy to be back or they were ordered to social distance from the refs.
I expect we will have a lot of silliness when youth soccer returns, and there will be false starts. But man oh man, life is definitely better with soccer. For two hours Covid and other social issues did not cross my mind.
My best guess is next Tuesday. With all that we ALL have gone through the last three months, I look forward to getting back to some soccer and seeing all of you at the Great Park, Oceanside, Arizona and Vegas baby soon 
I will confess my jealousy jumbo jack. Already getting in on all the action. Youth sports is the bomb btw. I wanted one of my kids to play baseball or softball too and I couldn't get my dd to even try and my son had asshole coach Dave for Mustang Pony Ball. This guy thought he was all that. Ruined any chance to get my son to try again after that horrible first season. I'm dead serious. We a had a 2nd baseman named Trevor who let a ball go through his legs in the 6th inning of a tie game and in the quarter finals of big time playoffs. Coach Dave yelled "Trevor, I told you to keep your glove down and now we lost. "Thanks a lot Trevor." Trevor cried and my son said he would never go back. I had a great talk with that punk of a coach at the banquet. He got kicked out the following season for being verbally abusive towards his own kids and other kids on the team. Anyway, enjoy the moment and go sports

Hearing OC is back by latest next week and a lot of OC clubs back possibly tomorrow. As for LA, not looking good and they may not start back until July sometime. Guess no LA teams at surf cup?
Can’t be sure until the last minute. Older teams that can’t train might skip Surf because of the injury risk.
If teams are afraid to travel, maybe Surf isn’t the big one this year. What events come later that might replace it? (Nov-Feb time frame)
The rest of the world sees things differently and it's really nice to see soccer again.

Modified soccer camps retuning next week to orange county at some facilities and a couple places in LA also but the college's we normally train at still no estimate on those opening up, July 1st was in the conversation as the earliest but need Heath dept ok for that which is in progress.
When night time and regular training resumes we will have a better idea when playing full games might be feasible.

Just put Sheriff Joe and Outlaw on ignore. They are trolls.
Catholic high schools will apparently be going on campus starting in August. Some schools starting football practices in July. Assuming fields open, club soccer should start up soon.

Pretty much everyone will be practicing by July 1st. August Tournaments will happen. The biggest concern for all of us is if this expected 2nd covid wave will hit hard and shut down the state again in late Sept/October. If this happens, you can kiss all soccer good bye until next Spring. Recent death trends in OC are not good but still less than .01% of population
