CIF- cant play club and high school at same time

Yes, valid point but confined to California only of course. I know practice was limited and scrimmages almost non existent. I hope things will improve in 2021. I see where the governor has lifted all stay at home restrictions now that the new administration is in so maybe youth sports will resume to like they are in all the other states.

High school soccer is a fun experience for kids especially those that are seniors this year so it would be nice if they could play their last school games. Hopefully CIF and club can work something out.

Club never had any restrictions - CIF did.
If season will happen this year, there are quite of few unknown's.
Here are just important ones....

1. With many HS sports going at the same time, it will be a game every day using HS field. This means no time/room for practice
2. Clubs who are using HS fields for training, will not be able to do so.
3. Referees will be stretched to a point that you'll be lucky to get 1 for your game.

That was be amazing. These two have been at odds for a long time. Hopefully we ALL can work together for kid sakes and sure For Pete's Sakes would appreciate everyone putting past sins behind them and work out a common good for all players. The key is maximum number of games a week. I say three is good. Maybe two HS and one ECNL? Maybe only 160 of actual game minutes allowed each week? For example, Susie Soccer playes club but rarely plays in the games and if she does, maybe 20 minutes. However, Susie is amazing in HS and one of the top players. Actually, Susie plays with Ganas representing her HS team and has more fun and plays the whole game. Plus it's FREE!!!!! Club is full of broken promises and just pressure for certain Susie types. The GOAT that plays all the minutes all the time needs to be watched by the parents so no over use is in place. Happy Monday to all of you today. God Bless You :)

Aren't high school games on weekdays? They are in my area. Club games are on weekends. I don't think refs will be an issue.

Most are during the week. Some leagues and privates do have Saturday games.

biggest gotcha's currently:
Orange tier required before playing. One cohort at a time
Mask required at all times even during play
No concurrent play with club sports
Bus travel for away games.
All the other covid restrictions such as adhering to all local and county health guidelines.
Games shall utilize a three-ball rotation, ensuring that anytime a ball goes out of play it shall be
sanitized thoroughly with a bleach wipe before returning to the rotation.

Updated Covid-19 Sport Guidelines [Updated 3.10.21] - CIF Southern Section

Getting through all the above and more could be possible but how many are really going to be able to pull that off?

The governor issued the stay at home restrictions AFTER the new administration won the election. He has now removed them. It was not political. Nice try though.

I meant practice restrictions like distance training at practice. One ref is better then a canceled high school season. If CIF allowed players to play club and high school simultaneously, players, coaches and refs would find a way to make it work. High school games are typically during the week. Club league and tournament games are on the weekends. Yes watching for to many games or to much training will be important to avoid injuries.

Lol, ok and funny the rest of the large socialist utopias dropped their restrictions to but of course not political but I dont want to go down this road again because now we even here from the WHO that the rapid test is inaccurate and resulted in millions of false positives so maybe you are correct. The governors in the heavily restricted states realized that the China virus test was flawed and their economies were dying so they decided to lift restrictions. Nothing political there at all.

Bet we will even be able to play soccer in California with the new administration up and running hard hard left.

Most actually do during the high school soccer season. It's a great 2 months, income-wise.

Nah 3-5pm games during the week normally only attract a certain demographic. Retired or don't have 9-5's or regular jobs. The pay is not that good mostly locals, ayso types, seniors, etc

Where I live, there are a lot of seasonal ag workers. A lot of them are passionate about soccer and either play and/or ref. I see a lot of them reffing high school games, especially since it is the off season for their jobs. So they might be collecting unemployment and also make money reffing club and adult leagues on the weekends. That's what I see here, not sure about other places.

Ah I see yeah it's different in my part of semi urban LA county.

Might be different this year but for both my kids they were lucky to get 1 out of the 2 refs that could actually run or weren't already over the hill. Bless them they did ok and of course I didn't attend much at all during the week but from film I've seen or heard from others club refs where rarely seen in our section.

I come to this site, and to this thread in particular, because I like to keep tabs on the status of restrictions and see whether, when, and under what conditions my kids will be able to play soccer this year in High School and Club. Please stop continuously derailing threads with your personal politics. You have the off topic board - you use it often. Why can't you keep that separate from posting here in the NORCAL forum about CIF restrictions? Do you even have kids in Norcal that want to play HS soccer this year?

Anyway, mine just got word from the HS coaches that they'll have to choose between club and HS, and that the HS "season" will likely be a conglomerate camplike atmosphere focusing on seniors. I feel bad for the seniors, especially the ones that worked so hard to make varsity this year.

Your statement has nothing to do with what I was referencing. What I said was in response to another poster. And, my response was 100% accurate. I am not a fan of his either, although I am a democrat. We all know he broke them. That doesn't change anything about what I said. As the poster just said, keep politics off this thread.

Not sure what your child/children are going to do about choosing, but my two more than likely will chose club for many reasons. Essentially it will be an easy choice for them.

So you start your post with “the governor...” but you want me, responding to you, to keep politics off this thread?

LMAO! Yeah, you’re a democrat. Do as I say and not as I do.
