So..... does anyone know if are we going to have refs in Oceanside? (little brothers, cousins, dads, etc, doesn't count) Although I'm happy to play, and I'm glad parents (from what I saw) are obeying the rules so far, it worries me when non-refs ref from an injury standpoint.
Great weekend of soccer!

Let me put it to you straight brah. I will NOT drive South without refs. That sucks and is no fun. Plus, the I5 from Laguna to Oside can be depressing. Lastly and the most important, I'm concerned everyone is trying to cram all these games in a few months. Parents, you better intervene or your goat will play way too many games without proper training and fitness. Were all addicted to soccer, let's admit that first. Second of the Lastlys, dont rush back and slow down. I know another player who got hurt and is now out for the season. Slow down everyone.
There will be ref's. We have had games against other ECNL clubs with them.
us too, but also with "volunteers" from opposing team which make me nervous. (injuries)
Glad to hear there will be refs, thanks
Dangerous conditions with those "volunteer refs." I call them dad refs......

Are they as dangerous as dad coaches?
As is your MO, most of your comment's are pure nothingness. Your education statement is silly, dangerous, and racist.

Is there a link to next weekends schedule?
Are you playing official games, or scrimmages?
My son's team scrimmaged last Sunday "in the open" with parents in the stands and have another scrimmage this Sunday. My son has made the most out of the lockdown and never expressed disappointment in not playing games, but I've never seen him happier after a soccer game than last Sunday ("winning" didn't hurt). I don't think we can underestimate the relief and benefit to kids of returning to some level of normal activity with sports and school. For both kids and parents it feels like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders regardless of how "normal" you tried to keep things during the lockdown.
Not sure if they have been posted on the ECNL/ECRL site. Just circulated amongst the teams.
No, but forcing kids back into school without the resources to protect them, many without the health insurance to save them and having to live in close quarters with others where it is easily spread, that is racist.
Pretending that everything will be fine based on the assumption that schools with fewer resources and more needs will be fine because those with more resources (predominately affluent and white) can manage is racist. Your argument that every school is the same and will be fine is what the Topeka Board of Education argued in Brown v. Bd of Ed.
Not 100% sure and to be honest, don’t care. The sheer number of games on the list indicate more of league games but again....nothing official has been said. I also don’t care if the coach from the other team wants to ref. So many of us haven’t scrimmaged or played outside of our own club is so long just seeing them face off against another opponent is a gift unto itself. That sentiment may change after a few games (looking for something more official) but I’ll cross that bridge if/when we get to it.
Don't tell the refs, but I prefer a coach reffing scrimmages. Coaches let the game flow and aren't interrupting games for irrelevant fouls. The other team's coach reffed my son's game and did a great job. I may be high but I also think players self-regulate their behavior somewhat in scrimmages. Not realistic for real games but effective for scrimmages.

totally agree...can't believe some folks here (and no doubt beyond here) haven't had any sort of local competition for their kids in a year and are already "worried" or concerned enough to write about whether the games are games or scrimmages, whether there are refs, and i'm sure these same morons care about what the scores are too. HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED ANYTHING THESE PAST 12 MONTHS??
How about just being happy and content in the moment? Watch your kids play the game they enjoy, and slowly work themselves back into game shape (especially if 11v11) period. Scores, standings, refs ARE MEANINGLESS right now!
I don't think you can always blame it on the parents though, there are many kids that crave the "real" competition. My kid would prefer scrimmages mostly because coaches don't take scrimmages as seriously as real games and there is more flexibility in scrimmages.

There are a plethora of "shit holes" in CA too- I drive through them often.
Shit Holes....Figuratively in Texas, literally in San Francisco.

When did I say all schools are the same?
. But thanks for pulling this out of page 3 of your caped crusader playbook.How about this - tell your friends in Chicago and NYC and LAUSD to us what monies have been allocated since last year to get their house in order. Politicizing going back to school is dangerous and racist. Shameful words and actions by adults done at the expense of disadvantaged kids. But I bet you want more money for our children saving Teacher's Unions. I'm thinking you need to drive around and loan out your hotspot.
Trying to stay on topic since we actually have soccer to play (not blaming you for falling into the EOTL shit pile) But you should check out DTLA or take a drive north from DTLA on the 101....mind blowing!
Good luck to your player! So happy these kids have something to look forward to!!!
