After much consideration, we decided to sit out the fall season. With training still limited (and, according to Cal South's Return to Play Protocol, still optional), asking our teams to start playing competitive games in October didn't make sense to us from either a soccer or a public health perspective.
This wasn't an easy choice: our kids and coaches want to play. But as we all try to work out what "best practice" means these days, we feel it was the right choice for us. The folks at Coast were incredible, as they always have been, and they understand our decision. We look forward to putting teams in some tournaments when it feels appropriate, and we'll be back in league play next year.
It may be a trivial matter in the current situation, but this also means that your team will be ineligible for State Cup or National Cup in Winter/Spring 2021, unless there is some action by Cal South to declare they will not be enforcing the Team Eligibility rules in Part 3 of the State Cup rules.
