For now it is reimplementing the old rule under section 600, which by the way still allows futsal and indoor soccer (indoor????) So we are talking two different things. CDPH and CIF. CIF said going back to old rules since the new rules violate CDPH. CIF old rules say no club soccer and High School soccer same time. Per old CIF rules Club soccer and another sport are still allowed. CIF also stated that playing with your Club team already doesn't violate any rules since no games have been played in High School. Thus you can practice with High School, but not play a game with them as that is when violation goes into effect. Plus CIF has added Mask requirements.With at least a few less typos this time:
The CIF rule press release said they’re doing this because the CDPH said you can’t participate in more than one team at a time. So that’s about “cohorting for safety”, not the standard competition rule. If that’s right, the rule should say that you can’t participate on any other team in any other sport (club or HS) when you’re on a HS team. So that press release about the reason for the rule is either totally wrong as to why they adopted it or they adopted a rule that doesn’t even do what they want. Not to mention it wouldn’t make sense once you start competing in HS because by definition you’re leaving your stable cohort when you compete anyway. None of this makes sense. Is the rule they just adopted actually just reimplementing the old rule about competing in the same sport at the same time or is it something new and broader that would prohibit kids from playing any second sport anywhere?
Now CDPH says only practice with your own cohort. Plus they won't actually let you play games yet. So you might not violate CIF but would violate CDPH? Everyone seems to be violating CDPH, indoor basketball, volleyball, pickup games of basketball, soccer, football, hopscotch. Looks like they need the enforcers from CIF working for CDPH.
