Sounds like the long term rule hasn’t changed.
It's the DA paradox all over again!So you think we’re back to forcing kids to make a choice?
Either or instead of working together. I know what my dd will chooseIt's the DA paradox all over again!
What is even worse is that CIF forbids kids from attending college soccer ID camps without permission from CIF, and then limits them to two camps. Due to the timing of HS soccer and college soccer (different time of the year) vs. HS football and college football (same time of the year), this rule does not impact football players. This is structural sexism and one day CIF will get nailed by a Title IX lawsuit.It's the DA paradox all over again!

I look it at as saving money. CIF is only for three months. Work together? No way it's healthy to do both so I think it's wise this year for the either or.What is even worse is that CIF forbids kids from attending college soccer ID camps without permission from CIF, and then limits them to two camps.

Not really. I think kids have to choose as long as we are in covid panic mode.So you think we’re back to forcing kids to make a choice?
CIF’s rule against playing both at the same time is about safety. It’s not safe to play both HS and club soccer at the same time, it is simply too much.
The DA wouldn’t let you play HS not because they overlapped, but because USSF believed kids were their personal property. Thank god it’s gone.
No it isn’t. It’s completely plausible to formulate a program that works for kids. I realize you don’t have any but the rest of us know CIF and competitive sports exist for one reason. We’re talking about a 2 month plan. It’s not that complicated.
Actually it is because club coaches and high schools will never agree. It is magat-level stupid to think they will.
It looks like CIF said that they need to prohibit playing club and high school in order to comply with the current CDPH guidelines. Sounds like they don't want players in 2 different cohorts ( club team and HS team) but that they may revise it if the CDPH guidelines are updated to allow it. We should see some sort of update no later than Monday as they have to say something by 1/25 and they can't just ignore it like they ignored the 1/4 update.
It is hard to figure out when Regions will drop out of the Stay at Home order. Sacramento Region was released 1 1/2 weeks ago based on a 4 week projection but their available ICU % is a little over 8% while the Bay Area is still in the Regional Stay at Home Order with 7% availability. Southern California seems to be stuck at 0%.
For some students the last day of on campus school was March 13, 2020. The only way they are even allowed on campus is for "conditioning".These kids are playing 20 different sports and sitting in classrooms together now. Who are we kidding?
