Surf Cup's Fate

So if you want to ball in SC, you will need a vaccine, right? Mask vs Vaccine, ya right. OC had over 2,000+ positives.

Considering that non-socially distanced training was never approved in the fall, they may not allow contact sports in SC county until cases get down to 1/100,000 or children are vaccinated.

Look at it this way-- take the money out of the equation. Do you believe Surf would have postponed 3x, moved the tournament, and frantically promoted that it's still happening even as multiple municipalities pull the rug out? That is to say, if Surf didn't need the revenue, would the tournament still happen? My opinion is no.

It's called a win win, MOO! The socal girls need some real competitive games, not this foolish 6 x 6 touch futbul nonsense. Surf is providing a service that is in high demand. If you build it, they will come. No kids or parents have died from soccer games. Let the kiddos ball if they want too. Air bee and bee and then drop off. Come back to watch goat n stay away from me and my wife. That is old school. What I hope happens is that we can all take off our fake masks and have one hell of a party to celebrate the new ____________&________ _________. If you could only see what I see Face. I mean that and I want you to see what I see. It's so Beautiful and my mind is open to things you need to see for yourself.

Its me again asking another favor. concerning Surf cup youngers tourney (dec 27th-29th). and im not asking on a club level just team by team. as far as 2010s go.
please DM me if you know for a fact that your team is either in or out...definitely. using Surf cup officials ruling and not the state of California's.
just your teams name with a yes or no. Texas teams wants to travel but we need to know if it will be worth it.
thanks in advance!

IKR. If they can’t get some real games in before April, how else can we keep then from getting decapitated by their fathers?

LAFC, Galaxy, and other youth have not been playing or scrimmaging. Distance practice & drills 6' apart is all there doing.

There are many teams and clubs that still don't have places or regular access to practice facilities in LA county.

Some people with money to spend on out of state play or out of county travel have managed to do more things. The rest can still train individually or with small groups but we know several so called top players or teams not playing or doing much beyond conditioning as a group.

ok, I'll bite...why should 10 year olds stay away?

I will answer only for me and my baby girl. 10, 11 and 12 year old age was by far the funnest and winningest for her and me too. She won back to back to back Cups and then went runner up and runner up for 5 straight finals. A true threepeat for girls soccer in winning and then 5 in a row is also impressive for Surf Cup standards. Who do you know with that resume? Morgan? Solo? Pugh? Smith? Come on now, lets get the games going. BTW, Its so much fun to be competitive with everyone and not care if you win or lose, just as long as you did your very very best and no one is cheating :)

Soccer parent from Texas here! first time caller, long time listener. can someone bottom line this for me? just wanna know if you are on a top 2010 team and if you still plan on going to Surf cup? also are you guys in Cali allowed to cross state lines to play? my team is on the fence about going and the dealbreaker for us is if the top Cali teams pull out. thanks in advance

I'm beginning to reach the conclusion that we're all just arguing about where to draw the line in the sand in regards to compliance with Covid restrictions. No one is following the letter of the law and its seems we're arguing over which breaches are acceptable, which all depends on your level of risk acceptance. None of us have any high ground to stand on.

Yes I'm sure, we had several players inquiry with our club as recently as last week about playing since they haven't been doing anything but conditioning. LAFC boys has a zero tolerance policy. The train via zoom or get together for conditioning but that's it.

You are wrong. I don't know how to say that any more clearly.

agree to disagree. but the top clubs in the younger age groups have all gone to az mulitiple times. why would they stop now? i know of a couple that are for sure going as long as the tournament is on. I dont know how to say that more clearly. if your speaking on behalf of olders, i dont know, but thats not what the guy was asking about.

Can you explain this policy please? Every kid should be at training if we are training or else?
 
I want you to very carefully read your own words.

Please understand that the Ulittle universe does not start and end with Blues and Pats. The number of teams who have actually made the drive is comparatively very very small. This is why I'm saying to get outside of your bubble.

There are so many ridiculously good clubs out there who are only doing fitness and distanced shape work and please please please stop saying "oh well all the top teams are still playing" because there are state cup championship winners at all levels that have been hamstrung this year. We are about to see a massive upheaval in the overall landscape that I don't think anyone really sees coming. To say "well our club is still getting in scrimmages at Great Park so all the top clubs must be" is completely disconnected from reality.

Real have not really been playing.....2 ECNL league games plus either the showcase or one tournament.... that's it..... I think our club qualifies as having "top teams"..... at least a couple other so cal ECNL clubs have done the same...... I miss the regular schedules and hope by early next year we'll be back to normal......
