Return to training

interested to hear what HS this is? I run the boys’ program at Samohi and we’ve been told very clearly that we cannot have soccer practice (even if we call it camp) when school resumes. Not under the current guidelines anyway.

@Eagle33

We are in an Independent Private School and nothing can take place, not matter what you call it, "camp", "daycare", etc. So, I'm curious as well, how are they doing that??

I'm wondering the same. In our neck of the woods, if HS will run a camp right now (which is allowed), under current guidelines it will be a track camp.

It's not bogus. If you knew a kid was contagious with the flu, would you allow your kid to hold the same ball they just held 30 seconds ago?

None of the kids are allowed to hold a ball on our team. Feet only. No reason right now for field players to use their hands. Only the keeper may touch the ball with keeper gloves. All balls are sanitized to start. Cleaned again if someone does touch with their bare hands.

You could put on a skiing summer camp someplace in the mountains, where one of the activities is soccer games (just for the conditioning).

I completely agree with you. Sadly, and this is first hand knowledge, by the time you figure out you might need to get tested, then actually get tested, then get your results, it is possible 10 days will have passed.

CDC says you are fine after 10 days. you can go back to work

I commend the players if they can actually pull that off. It's miles away from what I've seen driving around.

It's a million miles away from what's going on in the 'real' world; rather than the imaginary world of waivers, social media posts and pretend perfect adherence to guidelines. I'm not going to claim I've adhered strictly to all of it; I haven't.

I absolutely commend players/coaches/parents/clubs if they are carrying out training and 100% adhering to the (very strict) guidelines in place. It just isn't what I see most nights while working out or driving past fields. No judgment; adhering to the guidelines is virtually impossible IMO so I don't think anyone can help it (particularly disinfecting balls after someone touches them for example). It's just a complete fallacy to think everything is being perfectly adhered to.

EJ can tell you, at GP clubs adhering to guidelines, otherwise they will not be at GP.

Here is the scoop....
Team is about to return to training (older team). Players/parents are all excited to be back. Day before 1st training coach is getting a phone call from the player informing him that both of players parents tested positive. Luckily, training haven't started at that point and only 1 player will be missing. But what if this player would find this out after training started? Does whole team needs to shut down now? What if player knows but don't tell? What if parents don't tell the player?
Or is it "what you don't know, won't hurt you?"

We have parents rushing kids back from acl surgery and concussions. Why would you think they’d try to get their kid on the field with a little silly covid19

We are 100% adhering to the guidelines. Its sucks big apples but the Governor and County has specific rules to follow. I saw it with my own eyes with our team every time we practice. Each coach is different and will handle sports different. Holtz says to get your ass out on the field. The players of today have a different opinion and I respect that. I already told all of you what I thought about college sports. Coach O says the boys want to play too. Maybe ACC and SEC have their own little National Championship this year. They can be the Power 2 conference. They usually have the top two teams anyways so it would be fun to watch. Either way, I will follow the rules.

I'll give you an update tomorrow on how well our team does with the rules. Having 2nd practice tonight since limited practice has started up again.

What is interesting is so many are playing baseball, softball, and basketball where you have to touch the ball with your hands while soccer except throw ins doesn't require hand touching. It should be easy. :rolleyes:

I saw that on Tuesday socal kdg. I was, "wow, baseball players can play catch and hoopsters can pass the rock." Hopefully soccer will be allowed soon since they only play with your feet that has a cleat over it. GK has gloves too. I don;t understand this at all or do I? I know something and it's big news. It will come later in the year. Stay calm and trust your goodness.

OC is allowing youth sports "training" for the fall. I love this. Train for 3 and half months and get ready for next year's high school soccer season. HS Soccer is going to be big time and all the finals are live on TV for all to watch. Ford is the sponsor. We all have to wait this out and just be one day at a time type of parents.

Please dont go around telling people that 6 feet is magic.

They have isolated the virus at distances considerably longer than 6 feet. The Chinese restaurant study had several people get infected one or two tables away from the source patient. Maybe 15 feet.

6 feet is better than 3 feet, and worse than 9 feet. It is just a rough guideline, not a guarantee of non transmission.

You really believe anything from the red Chinese?

Some people are actually well informed, they read from a variety of sources (local and foreign), they listen to a plethora of pod casts, and most importantly they follow the science before making an informed decision instead of listening to people on a soccer forum.

Something I learned a long time ago when it comes to data and “input”. It is only as good as the source it came from.
