Surf Cup's Fate

[davin]

Our club in NorCal announced that they are shutting down practice for the next few weeks because of orders from the city. I’m betting this story about a youth bball team that played in tournament in another county, which led to a big outbreak, is a big factor that led the city to shutdown practices.

So, we have basketball, a game that brings players in closer proximity for longer periods of time being played indoors while an ECNL soccer game hasn't been played in CA for over a year? How does that happen?

Placer county isn't really California. Closer to Idaho especially as you keep going north in the county. That's basically how. Private owner of the basketball facility hosts a tournament and teams come. It's not rented like city fields. Maybe 2 weeks ago there was an article about that tournament. The owned basically said it's safe and held another one a week later.

The part of Placer county this occurred in is about, oh.. 90 miles from San Francisco? East up 80. And, my DD used to use this facility for Futsal back in the Ulittle days.

Yeah, you are right. It pretty much comes down to whether the local government controls the game facility.

I think it was Rocklin which is a decent city but in general Placer County is very masks don't matter that much on average(my cousin lives up there so have some knowledge). Hope the soccer clubs are mad at the basketball teams!

From what I heard after the first tournament occurred, no one from the county and sheriff department really tried to put a stop to it. Kind of like oh well. Much tougher at a private facility but clearly some rules were broken with an actual tournament

Health officials say the outbreak occurred at a gym in Northern California where tournaments were held despite the state's pandemic-related prohibition against youth sports competitions.

The fact that it is fun is exactly why people play HS soccer. That's one of the best things about it. If the players aren't having fun playing club soccer then that's a problem. Being fun is not the negative that you make it out to be.

I don’t remember being negative towards high school soccer , it’s less competitive and the kids can have fun, well maybe the parents are a negative , screaming from the bleachers

Yes, exactly. It's very much "what 'rona?" For the most part. The sheriff has said on more than one account that they will not be enforcing any lockdown measures.

If Surf Cup goes, anyone have input on who will be doing the referee assigning and contact info?

is this tournament even still happening?

Don't player hate. Celebrate.

haha, isn't this the case with most games, no matter the level? (screaming parents) I swear if they allowed CA to play but didn't allow parentals on the side line I think it would make for lots of happy players!! hahahaha (not all players I know, before some people get all crazy on here, but a lot of players definitely)

I just sounded like a put down at first glance. Thanks for clarifying and reminding me about the parents, oh yes the parents who think it's way more important than it is.

My oldest son has played there. I recall seeing a Placer United sign a couple doors down from the bball place. Anyone know if they are training inside? It would seem just as risky as the bball.

Placer is a couple doors down, and yes- I knew they were training inside as recently as October, (the last time I spoke to a parent there.)

For clarity: that building and Placer's building are at the end of a court, (a stone's throw from each other.)

Would the folks that want to cancel surf cup be okay with it if everyone got covid tested prior to the tournament?

I had to take a covid test 3 days before my surgery this past Tuesday in order to be allowed admittance in the hospital. I understand their reasoning and not wanting patients or staff compromised.

Testing people one moment in time whether they are positive wouldn't make a difference for me.

I see Surf as Big Tobacco. They have a product (event) that they KNOW carries elevated health risks for a large group of people yet they don't care about human health and lives because they need or want $$. They know by putting the product out there and advertising it with marketing puffery, people will come. There are thousands of youth soccer addicts, just as there are millions who can't stop sucking on their Marlboros. The medical community discourages smoking but Philip Morris ignores them. Surf likewise ignores the AZ and CA medical communities who vehemently plead to cancel because hospital beds are becoming as scarce as USMNT World Cup goals.

Just think about it for a bit before reacting...Surf wants you to: Come play a kids game, during the worst health crisis the world has seen in 100 years, in a location that now has the highest rate of spread in the entire country (source below), staying and eating in this location for several days, over the festive Xmas and New Year's Eve holidays no less, against the advice of almost all medical personnel, and in direct conflict with your state's travel and gathering orders (which also then require 14 days of self-quarantine upon return).

Please tell me what "corporate recklessness" means if that is not it.

Since when do tournaments have schedules out three weeks in advance?

In addition, Surf just found out they lost the fields a week ago. Give them a moment to establish a schedule. Geez...

Maybe? I hope kids get to play. My girls were looking forward to it and are bummed they aren’t playing.

Why don't people understand its not the soccer at the tournament that's the problem? It's all the idiot parents who turn the weekend into a booze cruise and bar hop all weekend. Testings pointless before and testing afters pointless because only 1% of people going will actually self quarantine for two weeks after the tournament.

We're in the middle of a PANDEMIC with idiots who don't care. Bringing your kids into a hot spot like AZ right after Christmas travel is a joke for a watered down surf cup.

Who's really going to be at high risk are the olders playing New Years........yikes

On a side note... Im curious if Cal South will eventually require a vaccination card for play moving into late 2021? That will be the next question moving forward for a return to everything.

Experts from all countries have said you are approx 15x as likely to get covid indoors as opposed to outdoors. Sadly soccer gets punished because of basketball and volleyball.
