Surf Cup's Fate

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

Not only have you mockingly compared mental illness to heartburn, now you openly and sarcastically joke about young children being decapitated.

You’ve shown yourself to be a relatively poor poster over time, bit this is next level disturbing, even for you. Absolutely sickening.

I'm all for the kids playing but let's be reasonable. For all of you that like to buy a stock at an all time high, This.

Arizona is reporting the most single day cases ever for COVID-19 12,314 new cases for #COVID19

Those are rookie numbers. 1 in 25 people in LA County have already had the virus and we're adding 2% new cases per day.

Coming soon, Surf Cup 2020: New Hampshire!!!!!!!!

AZ is totally beating LA county on this. They’re at 52,000 cases per million. LA is barely over 45,000. LA had a chance, but then they benched their best spreader for hosting tik tok parties.

See you in NH for Surf. Don’t forget the snow shovel so you can help clear the field.
 
In response to those that are worried that a break will mess up their kids soccer IQ-
Your kids soccer IQ would go up if they used this "break" to watch a lot of soccer on TV. Premier League, MLS, Bundesliga, Mexico, Womens, College, old replays of games, etc
Their technical ability will improve if they have a good wall and 45 minutes a day to work with a ball and a wall.
Their fitness will be ok if they break a sweat every day.
Their competitive spirit will stay if they call 3 friends and play 2v2 with pug goals a few times a week.
When games can be played again- give them a month of practice and 3 weeks of scrimmage games to be ready to play a meaningful game.

Nevada is pretty bad as well. This covid outbreak is definitely real.

This is coming from a dad that had no problem having his kids play futsal games all summer and fall. I’m now just going to quarantine my family for 1 month. I need a break anyways to work on my golf game. Lol.

All the beds in that parking garage are empty, while the nurse lady is crying, except one dude texting on his phone in the background. Ummmm, did they conveniently move all the dying patients out of the shot for the video-op?

I know the media can be convincing as hell, and not saying COVID doesn't exist, but damn, you can't buy everything. No matter how convincing it looks on screen.

Bingo!! Kids in the USA need to watch more soccer. The soccer IQ actually improves if all they do is play streetball and watch some soccer with friends. Watch a move on tv and then play with your brother/sister or neighbors. This is why South Americans are so good at soccer. That's all we did when I lived in my youth years. Joystick coaching is not going to improve their soccer IQ. Tournaments tend to be mostly joystick coaching for younger teams. Tournaments dont help kids as much as adults think.
 
Interesting… I just spoke to one of the travel coordinators for booking hotels for Olders surf… She said they’ve had no cancellations and in fact people are booking now. She did say younger surf there have had many cancellations

I doubt that kids in countries with a true soccer "culture" need a coach to teach them how to do a sole roll, cruyff turn, stepover, scissors, etc. They show up to their first training session with these skills.
Kinda like an American kid and dribbling a basketball. Between the legs, around the back, etc. They learn these on the driveway with friends. Or playing by themselves while shouting "KOBE!" when hitting a fadeaway jumper.

My dd will never watch a game unless i pay her to watch, so I would have to force her and I would i feel horrible to do that to her. She is balling today and has a USL game later this week with some friends. Tournaments is what my dd loves and league matches that have a championship attached to it. I also will say that tournaments do more for us crazy parents then most of the kids. If your doing the gamer circuit with tournaments, it better be the best of the best moo. My dd was on the last true team to experience that at U13. After that year, it was watered down product and split into two leagues in socal and around the country because the world is watching and we needed a big change in the girls game. All too because of this and that and all because they wanted to hog it all to themselves. We know the drill :) Showcases no bueno, MOO!!! I will say it way too many games for the kids.
With the big cosmic shift, my goat is set up nicely to make a late run. 12 real club games in two years and her body healed itself from over use. I take some blame for that because it was addicting watching the best of the best battle it out every month in some big time tournament.

Great day to watch a game too! Juve vs. Barca. Bonus, 3 USMNT players in the match.

Beach pulled teams from Surf

So that is a "no" from Beach, Real ECNL, Breakers ECNL, Slammers ECNL, LAFC ECNL..... it looks like it will be mostly non-Socal in the older top fights at AZ Surf...... lot of medals for the San Diego Surf kids coming soon....... Youngers may have some good teams, and if Texas comes then it could still be a tough tournament if it goes ahead......

When things get back to "normal" and Surf Cup is held back in Del Mar in the summer- Will they hold a grudge against teams that pulled out?
