New Youth Sports Guidance

Throw Back Thursday
I played all sports really good, but I was best of the best at baseball. My adopted mom also wanted me to be well rounded so she made sure I knew how to eat with a folk and dance with girls. 1978 getting ready for Cotillion, oh joy!!! I was forced to wear this suit for 10 weeks and I did to make my mom happy.

Well, Spicoli, too bad your haircut wasn't as well rounded. Nice suit, though.
 
More baby steps:
Today Orange County finally fell below State's threshold (100 case rate and 8% positivity rate) needed to allow in-person schools. OC will need to stay under this threshold for 14 days to re-open school. While there is no such clear guideline for youth sports, if in-person school is allowed, it's much easier to make a case for contact practice/scrimmage.
The case rate per 100,000 needs to be less than 25 and less than 8% positivity rate. OC Health calculates that at 97.5 per 100k and 8% positivity rate as of today.
 
Right?! Logistics alone from all involved: the State (Youth sports were last on the list to address at all and it took a month for them to issue guidance that essentially changed nothing from what was already implemented), OC Health, District permits, CIF, and Club will prevent it.

As far as Surf Cup goes....do you really think California officials are going to be good with teams coming from hotbed states like Arizona and Texas?

Agree but if the trends continue Arizona's numbers at least will look better than ours as the outbreak moves northward to higher latitutes. Texas also has most of its population towards the south. Nevada's probably going to be more of a concern in the coming weeks.

AZ isn't a hotbed.

Interesting site. Scroll down. You can see the states where covid is spreading faster vs others.

I don't know how many of these States would be accepted to a tournament right now. The red states are considered hot beds.

Wow look at Nevada. Had no idea til you pulled out the chart. If that course continues unaltered, looks like just do tournaments in Nevada isn't going to be a viable option either,

I posted in the following forum since the info wasn't related to this soccer chat.

 
@The Outlaw hahaha I was waiting for a response from you, when I saw this I thought well I'll be damned it's baby spicoli!!
@Ellejustus I like your hair cut
I'm the real deal brah.....My soccer pics are in storage and I will go fetch them. Great classics with writes ups from the Daily Pilot. I was baby Spicoli for sures. I put cannabis seeds in my 6th grade teachers planter. I got suspended for it too, for two days. Made the class laugh and that's all that matter to me back then. A true class clown I was. I have one of me with grandpa and my soccer mates down in TJ. One of the best games I ever played in my life. The field was packed with all the local towns people and the food and peeps were amazing. I was the talk of town and everyone thought I was pro, I kid you not. We won 2-0. I saved many shots that day. Mainly because grandpa had a rough day and my other right back sprained his ankle and he was only about 75%. The field had pebbles but super fun little local stadium. Truly one of the great times of soccer in my life. I'm a big show off type person and when i saw all the fans in the stands and people staring at me because, it was on and i was out to prove myself to be a baller and I did.

According to San Diego news, California counties must be off the watchlist for 28 days before they can open schools for in person learning.

"The letter said “the new metrics announced to San Diego County Superintendents [on Tuesday] require our county to be off the monitoring list for two 14-day cycles (a total of 28 consecutive days). Additionally, if at any point during the aforementioned 28-day period, the county exceeds established thresholds for three days, it will be placed back on the state monitoring watchlist. Then, the county would need to remain off the monitoring list for another 28 days to resume in-person instruction.”

That might be a county specific decision. It's 14 days in LA/OC.
 

The driver is a killer...it's the outer edge of driveability and brutal for just a weekend...would everyone on a Socal team want to fly right now?

And it starts to get cold here in October. Kids here play the end of the season in the snow.

p.s. just had the thought there's likely not going to be Halloween...that's so sad.

I was wondering about the Halloween thing. Can they enforce no Halloween? I'm in a pretty "open minded" area and I could see several neighborhoods still participating. That would be so sad if it couldn't go on!

Speaking of Halloween, this picture was posted on FB today by a friend at Costco --

 
Maybe this year we don't spend money on the parties, but spend on scary decorations. Leave treats close to the sidewalk while we sit near our doors. Every family can social distance from others as we go trick or treating. Besides the parties, Halloween can be enjoyed with social distancing. I hope we don't even have to worry about social distancing by then but if we do, it seems like a very doable holiday.

Some clever sugar-pusher store should work out a way for tricksters to demonstrate their costumes online and receive credits that can be redeemed for a sugar delivery within days.
 
According to our region, AYSO in California has elected to nuke the entire fall season rather than call the kids in for training for a season which may not happen. They aren't going to do the distance training thing. Extras and Adult League too. Haven't confirmed if this is true....just what I'm hearing from our region for which I still sometimes referee.
