From the people who brought you 51 player camp now heartbreak tournament

[Sheriff Joe]

Would you let your precious child go to a birthday party at Chucks cheese where fifty kids you don’t know will congregate for two hours?

Would you yourself go to a private lake house party with fifty people you don’t know are gonna catch a buzz together?

Would you jump on a crowded cross town bus to get to the beach for a day of fun in say, Huntington Beach or Corona Del Mar?

What if there’s someone there that’s not wearing their mask at all or wearing it but letting their drippy nose hang out over the top?

You gonna have the courage to say something to them?

Or let it slide and accept the risk?

This “tournament” for wee little ballers seems like a fine place to spend Labor Day! Sheesh.

Your panties are showing.

I would say, just like soccer, baseball’s risk comes more from congregating before and after the game, and during the game in the dug out. Good luck telling 13 and 14 year olds to stay 6ft apart and ignore eachother during the game.

We tend to focus or negatives rather than positives. If you explain to kids that staying 6ft apart in a dugout or on the bench will be a difference between playing a game or nothing at all, I'm sure they will understand.

Look, maybe I leveled too harsh a judgement on this tournament but here’s where I’m coming from: I’m a business owner that is completely shut down due to Covid and how it has impacted corporate governance of employee meetings, travel, trade events, brand launches, seminars and on site training.

There’s a massive swath of our society that works really hard (or is forced) to comply with strict new protocols and along comes something that sounds like “pirate” tournament with minimal oversight just because it’s taking place on private property.

I absolutely agree that the players will most likely be fine. But who do they see later that day? Or the next?

I’ve seen enough parents out and about to know that some will shrug off the whole need for a mask, others who will NOT wear a mask as a show of unity with t.

I’m sure I’ll get more f.u’s

Let sanctioned organizations proceed with caution that are helping our kids inch closer to playing.

Carefully controlled scrimmage in AZ? Great!

But a condensed tournament in Anaheim where the only stated control is “temperature will be checked” and unauthorized people not permitted..?

That’s like going to the lake party or dropping kids off at chuck’s cheese birthday.

I'd be pissed too if my business was completely shutdown. While I don't agree with some of your positions, I can certainly appreciate your perspective. I hope you can reopen soon.

Covid might be the least of my concerns if I was letting my kid go to Chucky Cheese! Yikes, that place is NASTY.

I was trying to be nice about Chucky. I never took my kids to that place for family time. I did take her a few times for other kids bday parties. Talk about nasty pizza and super expensive too. "dad, can I have more coins.........."

I’ve watched dozens of kids wear their masks as they walk straight to their cones for warm-ups. If the rules are clear and easy to follow, they get it.

Yes. Training is happening and at least the olders get the distancing requirements. I'm all for continuing training until Cal South puts out the notice that it's okay to move to the next stage.

what great news for OC and to get back on the pitch soon.

Look at that guy in the middle. bout says it all. I'm so proud of all my OC brothers and sisters for obeying the mask rules. The timing of the Heart Breakers 3 x 3 tournament is about striking at the right time. This could become the premier Labor Tournament ever. I really liked the 3 x 3 triangle small goal game back when my baby was 9-11. All about the give and goal and placing shots in the right place. My dd team was in the finals and she missed a wide open shot to tie to go OT and she was heart broken and vowed to come back the following year to win the big trophy. I'm honored to be VIP Goat dad guest.
