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.

Bullshit Canada. Soccer is being held hostage for some unknown reason. I know why but I wont say nothing. Just wait bro!!!

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.

Now that I've read it a second time, I agree. But does that mean if it gives a league the option to PCR test instead of requiring masks during play? Logistically it would be a nightmare, but maybe better to do if possible?

That would be a nightmare because of testing delays and false positives. Imagine you are ready to go and waiting on your keeper to get his test results back that morning. Also horrible for the kid having to miss a game because tests are late. Who would check....the ref? Not sure Surfrefs gonna wanna take responsibility for that.
 
Newsom said they are going to provide school districts with test for high contact sports, but what does that mean for club sports? Do high contact club sports need to be tested then as well?

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.

So the reaction I'm hearing from the Water polo community is one of extreme outrage. Because the rationale for testing is they can't wear masks, you can be sure they lobby for us to be treated like football if the leagues do not adopt a mandatory mask requirement. Already on the water polo SM, I'm seeing our players get just as close as soccer....it's soccer but in the water. You can expect them to totally Karen us if our leagues don't use masks.

Up top the rules say they apply to high school and club sports equally

From the SD Surf Facebook Page. I agree with SD Surf here. I hope they know what they are doing in fighting this:


San Diego County officials taped a Cease & Desist order to our front door this morning. Below is our response, which we sent earlier today:

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.

I'm house sitting out in Summerland NV for my pal Colin. Great place and weather is wonderful. Little colder then Socal but real nice out here. It was nice to sit down and actually eat my meal inside a restaurant and eat hot food for once. I dont get to eat out much for obvious reasons in socal, but when I do, it's cold by the time I sit down at home and eat it. I'm sick to my stomach that the kids are pawns in sports and in life.

IKR. Everyone is conspiring to ruin the life of your kid. Soccer clubs, coaches and parents; teachers and unions; the government; big pharm trying to implant microchips and poison into her for money; and now Channel 10 along with the rest of the lamestream media. Even restaurants want your food to be cold by the time you get home. They’re probably getting kickbacks from GE, which is selling microwaves like nobody’s business. Can you confirm that last one with your Q handler? I really think I’m on to something.

Ooh! A super duper secret conspiracy theory! So secret (or dumb), that he can’t even discuss it even “anonymously”. Probably thinks Jimmy Hoffa’s teacher union goons will break his kneecaps if he goes public.

Looks like VC has already signed off on the new sports guidance. No word as far as I know from La County yet.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by VC has signed off on the new sports guidance? I am trying to figure out what this all means for our club and kids who are in VC. Thanks!

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.

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?

Soccer does not require testing.

It seems like only the first bullet point applies to football, rugby and water polo. Since soccer is an outdoor high contact sport it seems like testing is required for those 13 and over per the 3rd bullet point.
Note: The testing requirement above shall only apply in the following situations:
Click to expand...
  • 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.
  • When adjusted case rates for the county are between 14-7 per 100,000.
  • For sport participants 13 years of age or above as evidence shows that younger children do not seem to be major sources of transmission—either to each other or to adults.
  • *If more than 50% of a team's participants are less than the age of 13 (and are not required to test per the above), then the entire team is exempted from the testing requirement. Coaches, however, will still be required to meet the testing requirement.

The question seems to be if these bullet points are an "or" or an "and"
