Aren't high school games on weekdays? They are in my area. Club games are on weekends. I don't think refs will be an issue.
CIF- cant play club and high school at same time

Do you really think those refs can do games 7 days a week?
Most are during the week. Some leagues and privates do have Saturday games.
biggest gotcha's currently:
Orange tier required before playing. One cohort at a time
Mask required at all times even during play
No concurrent play with club sports
Bus travel for away games.
All the other covid restrictions such as adhering to all local and county health guidelines.
Games shall utilize a three-ball rotation, ensuring that anytime a ball goes out of play it shall be
sanitized thoroughly with a bleach wipe before returning to the rotation.
Getting through all the above and more could be possible but how many are really going to be able to pull that off?
The governor issued the stay at home restrictions AFTER the new administration won the election. He has now removed them. It was not political. Nice try though.
I meant practice restrictions like distance training at practice. One ref is better then a canceled high school season. If CIF allowed players to play club and high school simultaneously, players, coaches and refs would find a way to make it work. High school games are typically during the week. Club league and tournament games are on the weekends. Yes watching for to many games or to much training will be important to avoid injuries.
Lol, ok and funny the rest of the large socialist utopias dropped their restrictions to but of course not political but I dont want to go down this road again because now we even here from the WHO that the rapid test is inaccurate and resulted in millions of false positives so maybe you are correct. The governors in the heavily restricted states realized that the China virus test was flawed and their economies were dying so they decided to lift restrictions. Nothing political there at all.
Bet we will even be able to play soccer in California with the new administration up and running hard hard left.
Most actually do during the high school soccer season. It's a great 2 months, income-wise.Do you really think those refs can do games 7 days a week?

Just curious, how much do refs make per match for club and High School?
Nah 3-5pm games during the week normally only attract a certain demographic. Retired or don't have 9-5's or regular jobs. The pay is not that good mostly locals, ayso types, seniors, etc

You are right, some do, but I would argue it's the "most". Most can't even do one game right
The only thing that is political about this is the amount of pressure he is under to save his Governorship.
Where I live, there are a lot of seasonal ag workers. A lot of them are passionate about soccer and either play and/or ref. I see a lot of them reffing high school games, especially since it is the off season for their jobs. So they might be collecting unemployment and also make money reffing club and adult leagues on the weekends. That's what I see here, not sure about other places.
Ah I see yeah it's different in my part of semi urban LA county.
Might be different this year but for both my kids they were lucky to get 1 out of the 2 refs that could actually run or weren't already over the hill. Bless them they did ok and of course I didn't attend much at all during the week but from film I've seen or heard from others club refs where rarely seen in our section.

The governor issued the stay at home restrictions, personally broke them on camera and is lifting them only because the recall pressure justifies the # of cases.
Nice try, though.

I come to this site, and to this thread in particular, because I like to keep tabs on the status of restrictions and see whether, when, and under what conditions my kids will be able to play soccer this year in High School and Club. Please stop continuously derailing threads with your personal politics. You have the off topic board - you use it often. Why can't you keep that separate from posting here in the NORCAL forum about CIF restrictions? Do you even have kids in Norcal that want to play HS soccer this year?
Anyway, mine just got word from the HS coaches that they'll have to choose between club and HS, and that the HS "season" will likely be a conglomerate camplike atmosphere focusing on seniors. I feel bad for the seniors, especially the ones that worked so hard to make varsity this year.
Your statement has nothing to do with what I was referencing. What I said was in response to another poster. And, my response was 100% accurate. I am not a fan of his either, although I am a democrat. We all know he broke them. That doesn't change anything about what I said. As the poster just said, keep politics off this thread.
Not sure what your child/children are going to do about choosing, but my two more than likely will chose club for many reasons. Essentially it will be an easy choice for them.

So you start your post with “the governor...” but you want me, responding to you, to keep politics off this thread?
LMAO! Yeah, you’re a democrat. Do as I say and not as I do.

Thanks for singling me out and not others that talk politics here. I’m sure you have a valid reason for it.
Yes, unlike others here, I have kids playing sports under the CIF umbrella. Anything else, Karen?

Actually, your HS coaches giving you wrong information.
Couple of thigs in play here....
1. CIF came out with rescinding outside competition Bylaw due to Football trying to get around rules by creating club teams so they can play. No thought was given to other sports.
2. This was being looked at to keep kids within same group according to CDPH, which becomes obsolete once we will be in Moderate or Minimal tier, when Soccer will be actually possible.
3. Club have no schedule vs HS who does.
3. CIF changes almost daily so we don't know what will happen in March.
I would stop listening to club and HS coaches spreading misinformation. Some things we have control over and some things we don't. This one of the latter.
Mine too
