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.

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
Baseball, basketball, volleyball, hockey, softball.....and that’s the short list.....have ALL been traveling out of state since June.
Basketball at least can be moved outdoors. Not many ice rinks outdoors in SoCal
Under 13 dont need to be tested...not sure about how that will go for 13+

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.
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.

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.

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.
- 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"
I read it the way you do, that its required for soccer. That's probably a deal killer from a cost and administration standpoint. On the bright side it might not take much longer to go from 14 to 7 cases.
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.

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.
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.
