SOCCER POSTS ONLY... Can this be done?
- Thread starter Footy30
- Start date
@oh canada I have to agree with you on Surf leading everyone to believe the tournament was going to be played over it's original weekend, then the 2nd move, etc. I hope if they have to change dates again they are able to fit it in the small time frame our AZ peeps have informed us about.
I like reading your posts and I like reading @Grace T. soccer posts, so lets try to stay on track.... Both you and Grace and a handful of others on here contribute positively to this forum and I think she (Grace) and most people on here just wants everyone to abide by the rules or take it to the OFF TOPIC..
C'mon this thread hasn't derailed yet lets keep it going.. Soccer only
The GA league is done already? even the SW? glad they got some games.. Anyone on here want to share their GA experience? I have heard a few things here and there and its probably not the best season to ask for an opinion, but in case anyone wants to share...

Soccer ranks as a religious experience for giant swaths of the planet. Glad to see that we’re caching right up on the SoCal forum!! May not even need to go to church tomorrow!!.
Is church even allowed anymore? Thought newsolini banned it. But yes soccer is the beautiful game and really the only sport that brings the whole world into the game. I remember going to the forum as a kid with my grandfather in the 70s and watching grainy black and white footage of world cup games. It was the only way to see some of the International play back then.
Brother Giesbock, you are not allowed to go to church anymore. I have much on my heart to share with everyone.Soccer ranks as a religious experience for giant swaths of the planet. Glad to see that we’re caching right up on the SoCal forum!! May not even need to go to church tomorrow!!
I can't believe the AZ and NV teams travel so much during a regular season....
Typically in ECNL we have to travel twice and it's a pain.. mad respect to the AZ and NV teams for all their travel.
I heard a lot of stuff but I wont share. Playing in East LA tomorrow. Grandpa hooked us with good soccer fun and killer lunch after.

Why did they cancel the LV Thanksgiving Tournament? They saw it coming (see link below). Surf should see it coming too. There's no plateau in cases coming anytime soon. Someone has to speak truth.
Youth soccer teams fear second shutdown as tournament enrollment skyrockets
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- Concern over a second shutdown corresponds with record enrollment in Las Vegas youth soccer tournaments.

And more media coverage like this too in AZ is not going to help Surf's chances of holding their Jan. 1 tournament:

thanks for the article! With that said, if next week’s tourney is already cancelled, Mayor’s cup should just cancel theirs already as well instead of waiting until a week prior. So many teams applied that they had to split into 2 weekends. That’s probably not of popular opinion but why string families along at this point.
fear mongering , they should back it up with science as opposed to speculation. Regardless, Surf should put up or shut up. I get the sense that AZ will make a decision prior to thanksgiving. No wiggle room for Surf. Besides, might be better in the long run to cancel surf, calm things down, and have the big tournaments in FEB. Those same teams that will travel for Surf, will travel for PDT.And more media coverage like this too in AZ is not going to help Surf's chances of holding their Jan. 1 tournament:

Whatever, don't want to get into a COVID/Soccer discussion....I suppose youth sports is the cause for spikes in ND and SD.

ECNL Showcases are 3 games in 3 days. Not a fan of that for the older girls.
USL score up date
Locals Only FC beat Mix Bag FC 4-2. I cant say who or where, but soccer is being played and that makes me happy. I know of two other USL games that took place and I look to post as soon as I get results back. Scores were supposed to come to me before 12am. However, many are afraid that I will snitch and I promised I would not snitch on friends. BTW, who snitches on friends anyways?

It is why we usually do team travel. Rent a couple of large buses, 2 chaperones per team, and off they go. Parents drop them off at the bus and pick them up at the bus. Many times we get a live feed, if not we watch the tape a couple of days later.
Kids have a blast hanging out with their friends, parents don't drive, and it is cheaper vs families heading out on their own.
and let's not forget, it prepares the goats for life after daddy and mommy pulling all the strings for play time. Goat has to figure out life on her own when she is older and this is how it starts. I sure hope those buses make the trip next year. Make sure your one of the chaperones Hound because we have a bet, remember?

AZ should cancel by Tuesday after the weekend numbers are posted. Just schedule some local scrimmages with the weather holding up and stay local if your team has parents who can relax with out games. Im disappointed more California Club directors aren't being proactive and canceling out of state travel right now.
Its all about $$$$$ in the end.
It is likely they are just listening to their customers, who after 8+ months and watching so many clubs around SoCal and the rest of the country play, are fed up with “sitting at home”.
It is entirely feasible for games to be played locally with no risk to the kids or families (if they follow common sense guidances)....just follow the science.
