Rapidly coming to the realization that 2020 is shot.
Municipal permits for fields-- school districts, parks, etc-- aren't going to be forthcoming anytime soon. That makes general league play an impossibility.
Have been out to a few practices ever since Cal South opened things up. Less than 50% attendance at sessions. Clubs that would field 2-3 teams per gender/age group are going to be really lucky to field 1 competitive team. Clubs that historically do tryouts in late March probably have zero new arrivals to fill up gaps caused by natural churn.
Inter-club contract tracing is almost impossible-- imagine recording all attendance to every game on a field, even if it's just parents dropping off kids to a field. That keeps Cal South stuck at phase 2, scrimmaging between teams at the same club. We basically have two months to mask up and shut down this virus or else competitive play in 2020 is done for. Curious to see which league cancels first.
