- Start date
From let them play's twitter competition can resume Feb.26 for certain sports (Soccer not on the list but it may be illustrative not expansive). Rules modifications and testing required for certain high contact sports.
Is soccer considered a "high contact sport"? If so it's looking like weekly testing and masks and cases to be at 14 per 100,000. Outdoor sports only.

Progress! Not sure exactly how this applies to non-HS sports. 14 per 100,000, SD county is close. How about your county?

So they don't expressly mention if soccer is a high or moderate contact sport. High contact is football, rugby and water polo. Moderate is baseball cheerleading (which is laughable...cheerleading is more high contact than football0 and softball. Anyone know?

From the article counties may implement stricter standards. Looks like Santa Clara and LA County might still be f'd.
Soccer's not allowed under any circumstance as punishment for players attending so many out of state games. Sorry.

SD is 21 per 100K today, down from 54+ last week, so the trend suggests we may be a few days away. FYI, LA is at 22, Riverside at 14, and OC at 13. The adjacent county only restriction, if it applies to youth sports as well as HS sports, will effectively end the ECNL season.Progress!

Fox is claiming we're at 15.6, but County website says 22. We should be at 14 soon.

You and I are going to have issues if you mention cheerleading again
. I have a cheerleader and a soccer player.Here's the actual modified guidance. Am I reading it right? It looks like for soccer masks, but no testing (since soccer players can be masked).

Just like baseball, huh?
You and I are going to have issues if you mention cheerleading again
I just have cheerleader envy because I never did it.
It looks like the reason cheerleaders and soccer players are exempt from the testing requirement is because they can wear masks....football players might have the mask ripped off.
Go Team!!!You and I are going to have issues if you mention cheerleading again
My wife was a cheerleader and she had so much fun. She was the mascot her Sr yearI just have cheerleader envy because I never did it.

It's confusing. The way I interpret it, face masks should be worn to the "greatest extent possible" but testing is required for high contact sports, including soccer, when playing in purple or red tier under the 14-per-100k exception.Here's the actual modified guidance. Am I reading it right? It looks like for soccer masks, but no testing (since soccer players can be masked).

Soccer is high contact like football, but only football rugby waterpolo have the weekly testing requirement.
masks are strongly encouraged for soccer players but not required.
This line makes me think ECNL/GA showcases may be out of the question as well as games in NV and AZ (also Albion Cup):
- Teams must not participate in out-of-state games and tournaments; several multistate outbreaks have been reported around the nation, including California residents.
Hmmm....it's at the bottom....all the way down at Play in Less Restrictive Tiers (Outdoor High Contact Sports)....which the chart does list soccer as an outdoor high contact sport up above. It then says testing is required. It then says "Note: the testing requirement shall only apply in the following situations:" It then says:
"For football, rugby and water polo as these are high contact sports that are likely to be played unmasked, with close, face to face contact exceeding 15 minutes."
So the way I read that is if the league adopts a mandatory mask rule for competition, good to go without testing.
