I read the testing as “and”. Norcal Premier understanding is that soccer does not require testing. Weekly testing for football, rugby & water polo for players aged 13+
They specifically listed those three sports with that rational that they require prolonged face to face contact. That implies soccer does not.

NorCal Premier definitely wants it to read that way or else their whole money making plan to arrange games between local clubs is not gonna work. I guess we will find out what it really means when the County Health departments and CIF chime in.

I wonder if there would be as big of incentive for the State to appeal this decision given the State's guidance today. I suspect they will, but maybe not. I could see where it may not be worth the risk for the State.

It's likely not a coincidence that the new guidance came out when it did then.
 
This press release seems to clarify it only applies football, rugby and water polo, 13+ and when COVID numbers are higher. In any event, with “equity” being so important in testing and vaccination policies I would imagine the government would in some form have to ensure all players that need it get equal access to testing. Otherwise they would be inadvertently be allowing better off areas and players to play and shutting out schools and clubs with less resources.

The rules give counties the option to enact stricter standards. The rumors are (because LAUSD's union is trying to keep schools closed next year at least part time, and because the sports rules apply equally to club and school sports) LA County may not sign off on the new sports rules. VC tweeted out this morning happy news about the new sports policy which indicates VC will implement the rules as is and not put in place stricter standard. If past history for the OC is true, they'll likely sign off as well. But we are still in wait and see mode as each of the counties reviews and signs off on the new guidance. Remember counties can be stricter than the state guidance for even school, but not looser.

Thank you so much for your reply. Makes perfect sense now. My only other question I have after reading through the information is where it states
-Out of state games and events are forbidden.

Do you think clubs will listen to that or will they continue to see it as a guidance? I know some ECNL/RL games were supposed to happen in Vegas in March and after the announcement today, the teams are no longer going and the games have been cancelled. I wasn't sure if that was based upon the out of state rule or what.

Our local water polo team has been debating this. The issue is the Karen’s and what happened with surf. The ability to play at 14/100k is an exemption to the normal rules. The fear is if you are caught (or if some parent is stupid enough to post on social media) you’ll be banned from league play as a potential virus spreader. Water polo though is a rich kids sport and they can afford weekly testing. So the choice there is do we do league and pass on outside tournaments or do we just go out of state? Partially the question depends on what la county allows because if no la a league isn’t feasible (and like soccer the best competition is oc/San Diego which won’t be allowed from vc).

The question for soccer is whether for oldest testing is required...if so I don’t see this being workable for a lot of teams that can’t afford it.

Judge's Order Clears Way for Return of Youth Sports

A San Diego Superior Court judge has blocked county officials from preventing young athletes — including high-schoolers — from participating in youth sports that are operating under the same or similar COVID protocols being enforced by professional and college teams.

Note this is a temporary restraining order without consideration of the newly released state guidelines. The judge's final ruling will be made March 5. The new guidelines may make it moot.

Surf's ego-driven public FU to local politicians jeopardizes the planned scrimmages etc for all other clubs. Just needed to chill, take your medicine, for another week and clubs (and high schools) in OC, SD and most other counties would get most of what they need/want, except for out-of-state games and tournaments. But most of us on this forum have always said that with the best players here, a SoCal league is all we need. We're hours away from that happening and Surf looks like it's intent on pissing it away.

Remember two weeks to flatten the curve...but just another week, right? Some of us have had it with being played by government and their ever-changing science.

I appluad Surf.

I get what you're saying, but those with even half a brain knew that "2 weeks" statement would never hold. Now, we have specific and definitive orders with dates and realistic benchmarks. 14/100,000 - Feb 26 - etc. We are almost there.

Where is your brain? How big is it? How much do you use of your brain teacher? Go teach and stay in your lane. Using kids as pawns is Loserville.

Meh, two weeks ---> 12 months... no big deal in the academic and social development and well-being of our kids. But hey, "we're almost there" to those with no brain.

How do you expect anybody to take you seriously when you use words like "loserville," really? Is that your idea of an intelligent, mature argument? This is kind of an ironic statement coming from you.

Hey Hater, some day you will take me serious. Anyone who uses kids for political purposes is a fucker. Is that better?

I agree that it was time for them to stand up. I don't know anything about surf, but it does seem like they get picked on quite a bit.

Plus, I was talking to Oh Cananda the teacher, not you. If I respond to someone post, that means it's for them, not you Hater.

Testing isn’t required for soccer if not written in the order.

Ever since his little meltdown the other day (purely brought on by himself) hes been the bully and be liteing up everyone he can on here like he does, maybe should change his name to Cobrakai, hes not the victim with his " Cmon Guys , Pleas this and please that"

Once he got a poster to hear his cry wolf bullshit , hes runs around blasting people for their comments and then proceeds to talk about how he got fuck, well everyone know he is the reason his soccer world got fuck.

Dude we all can see that YOUR the reason your blackballed, and you should STFU before you ruin more of any small chance your kiddo has......

If you had any sense , you'd tone it down by 85% and stop with your rants.

Do you ever read what you write? Honestly you live in some fucking weird imaginary place where you think you have something to contribute.

Take your wife to lunch she will appreciate that, stop posting ....

Leave these forums alone so we can enjoy them again, instead of making them all about you in every thread stupid.

While it may satisfy big egos to write this, it is not the most business-savvy approach to get your players back on the field. This will not help their cause. They should have ended it after the third paragraph. Another instance of Surf leadership #fails.

Plenty of Surf parent lurkers on this forum. Let us know when your kids get back on the field please. Genuinely interested and hope it is soon.

what did you suggest they do? They were spot on to write this. I am not a surf fan but in this instance would give them the $$ for the fine for doing the right thing and standing up for the kids.
