I am not pushing any narrative just using logic and asking if anyone has heard anything concrete. I am confused by your comment about dissing clubs since I have done no such thing. Maybe you have me confused with someone else.

June 1 and June 15 will be two important dates. Clubs will begin to practice. Covid is not going away but people will begin to take more risk. I think that most parents want to get their kids out of the house and play sports. The question is really how much are they are willing to pay. Clubs need to charge significantly less than previous years. Any club fee above $2k is not worth it.
what are fees for arsenal? those cannot be cheap
Agree, all we have to do is find out what school district isn't practicing social distance and go rent their fields.
Any word on clubs actually cutting fees?
Not sure how you can make that work financially unless you also go to a parent coached model.
Clubs that have coaches that also have non-soccer jobs may be the ones that survive this best. (Not necessarily parent coaches. But people who coach but don’t need the income).
Right now the biggest concerns are insurance and field availability. Cal South pulled there insurance so if and when they restate that Cubs will have a chance to apply for a permit. Until then private facilities who can manage to get their own insurance or going to be the only option.
August is my guess for when Cal south gets going again and public facilities start permitting field usage again.

I think that is great for AYSO. However, there is no way SD Surf, Blues, Beach and Legends are cutting their fees.

Agreed...
Supply & demand. If there are not enough people able to pay anymore with unemployment at 25% somethings are going to have to be adjusted.
They certainly won’t want to.
I can easily see parents of kids on lower teams begin leaving for smaller clubs and Mexican or recreational leagues. When that happens, where does the money come from to pay for the premier teams?

What two major clubs in LA?
LA County just extended their lockdown through July so this guess of August seems right (but it might be the best case scenario now):
L.A. County safer-at-home orders to remain in place for several months, but ‘restrictions will be gradually relaxed’
Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home restrictions will likely last for three more months to combat the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, county public health Director Barbara Ferrer said at Tuesday’s Board of …

So can our kids practice and scrimmage for all of August and then start league play right after Labor Day with no parents on the sidelines? When the teams check in, will the refs or some other Cal South official take the temp of the players before the start of the games?

Taking temps is not really going to do very much anywhere. Many/most people that are positive are asymptomatic and will not have a fever.LA County just extended their lockdown through July so this guess of August seems right (but it might be the best case scenario now):

It's not L.A. County , but it's L.A. City Mayor Eric Garcetti will be the biggest problem to get around for CalSouth to have a fall season. This guy is really flexing his muscles about this lockdown. Other cities in L.A. County are slowly opening up and aren't as strict about wearing mask outside, but Garcetti is making wearing a mask basically 24/7 mandatory. He's said he's not opening the City of Los Angeles until there is a cure for Coronavirus, which will be never. We don't have a cure for the common cold, flu, AIDS, or West Nile, so what make him think there will be a cure for this ?? The City of L.A. is huge, and a lot of clubs within the city practice and play on LAUSD property, which is of course shut down and will remain shut down through the entire summer. Clubs the Downtown LA SC, Tudela, LA Breakers, and any clubs in the San Fernando Valley are screwed.LA County just extended their lockdown through July so this guess of August seems right (but it might be the best case scenario now):

The State, LA+ riverside counties, cities and some big insurance + facilities are some of the challenges for Cal South.
City of LA is smaller potatoes in comparison but does has a good number of training sites, School, colleges, stadiums, clubs around.
GPS has some serious financial & legal problems, filed for bankruptcy
Because they brought over foreign coaches on bullshit visas and worked/treated them like rented mules (allegedly)
