ECNL Fall schedules

10-4 on that.

Going to take some deeper pockets to play out of state all fall. After a couple trips might be tiring I would imagine not to mention really need to play multiple games per trip to make it worth it.

Team buses are bound to be very pricey nowadays so parents going to have to foot the bill, drive, or pay airfare.

We know players that opted for RL...regional teams since they didn't see the value in traveling as much but where does this leave them?

I'm sure some AZ parents would have a wry chuckle at the potential travel costs, those being part and parcel for them playing in SoCal as many weekends as they do. Obviously, that's because that's the league and competition they want.

It is a tough ask, cost wise, especially if you didn't "sign-up" for it, as the AZ & NV teams do.

If they are really going to go to AZ to play SoCal teams, why wouldn't they do it in Yuma? It's still a spin, but with the right game times, its easily doable and you can dispense with the hotel/flight type expenses.

And to think EOTL guaranteed that So Cal teams would not be traveling to AZ or other places because of COVID.

GA schedule mirrors ECNL schedule - 100% travel to AZ for CA teams. The exception is the NOV showcase at Silverlakes - if it happens. The D1 dead period extension may kill it.

I wouldn't be too smug. Both ECNL and GAL need SoCal, and SoCal doesn't need AZ. The last thing AZ needs is the SoCal powerhouses advocating for a SoCal only league (because their parents are pissed at the expenses this year) and that NV & AZ can form a mountain league with UT & NM. It really wouldn't be a big deal for either ECNL or GAL to acquiesce to that.

Not smug. Just a months old back and forth with EOTL

Arizona covid cases are up significantly. There could be a chance they lock it down a bit. Then again, they didn’t really ever lock it down. Lol.

Arizona reports 'significantly higher number' of COVID-19 cases Thursday

Another 1,753 Arizonans tested positive for the coronavirus Thursday, according to the state's dashboard.

Unlikely AZ locks down. Read the entire article for context then compare to other metrics ( hospitalization, bed usage, etc)

"This is a result of advancements in testing, and includes recently classified positive antigen cases dating back over the previous several months," ADHS said in a blog post.

For that reason, the state will be adding a significantly higher number of cases for the next couple of days, according to ADHS.

THIS! I totally agree with you. This is so stupid. There is absolutely no need to travel. We have WAY more than enough comp up and down the state to safely play/scrimmage each other. The idea that we have to travel just to play makes absolutely no sense and is a recipe for disaster, in terms of injuries, etc... Traveling out of state would mean these would be our first games... NO! We should at minimum be able to scrimmage internally.

Write your Governor; local public health officials. Everyone knows, except themselves, the loons don’t follow the science; See how political it was when numnuts folded quickly to the pac 12 when he was in the spotlight.

Actually cases are NOT up significantly.

I was listening to the news about it last night. The AZ Health Dept is adding in cases it had not counted for the past 1-4 months. The department indicated that over the next few days that we would see more numbers as they update their stats from the past.
 
So it’s true that ECNL schedules have Calif teams playing all their games in AZ ?

Can someone please post a link or copy of a schedule to confirm this . It seems not impossible just hard to believe. ( BTW I'm fine with it )

And in the history of this forum there have been a few posts that turned out not to be entirely true . Thanks

So in other words, Arizona was underreporting the severity of the situation and are now correcting the record.

When there on the web site under schedule with actual dates, time, and fields then it's on.

Usclub is under a bit of heat in california, the don't ask don't tell things receiving mixed results. Posting schedules now will pretty much conced that their generic protocols & return to play haven't been followed according to local and state guidance.

The speak easy scheduling is fine but let's call it what it is.

It doesn't matter, let's keep this thread focused on the schedules. If you want to debate about AZ, etc, just create another thread for it somewhere else.

It absolutely does matter for families looking for reliable information to determine if they want to take the risk of attending events scheduled in Arizona.

People can check authoritative sources to make their own decisions outside of a soccer forum. You guys keep dragging every single thread on useless debates and dick measuring competitions. Just create your thread about AZ and Covid reporting or whatnot and leave this thread for the schedules information. (I won't debate with you about this anymore)

Think so per the email. And, in accordance with out of state laws regarding C19.

Can someone post a pic of it? Just blackout whatever identifiable things...

It’s not a full schedule it only pertains to each specific team. All it says is who we are playing and the day. No location or time yet.


So, there is a ECNL schedule that for Calif teams gives the opponents name and day ( evidently starting in Oct ) but no location.

So based on that we have 3 possible scenarios :
#1 Calif teams are only scheduled to play AZ teams on the schedule
#2 Scheduled Games where Ca teams play Ca teams will be cancelled if Calif still does not allow games.
#3 Scheduled Games where Ca teams play Ca teams will be played in Arizona if Calif still does not allow games.

#1 makes sense
#2 & #3 depend on are there Ca teams scheduled to play CA teams and if yes ,
does the email say that scheduled games will be played even if Calif still does not allow games ?
If not I my guess is those games will be cancelled.

I'm only trying to understand what the schedule means . If someone who knows will clarify , I would appreciate it.
