Is Surf Cup happening?

Don't forget that College season will be already ongoing, so not many (if any) coaches will be in attendance, specially D1 or D2 schools. I'm sure there will be few D3 and NAIA local coaches there. Like I said before, this year's Surf will be just an expensive local tournament, if it will happen.
I keep hearing this argument that college coaches won't travel to recruit during the season. How do football and basketball coaches do it?
 
Live Stream for the coaches is the way to go Mr buck. Local coaches can make the drive if they like and out of state can watch on TV. I was told that big time coaches want a few more looks before the sign a kid.
I'm hoping this is a positive that comes out of this current ordeal, some adaptation with technology so the kids can get out there and play to be showcased.

Great point by @dad4 in regards to targeting something more realistic goals for return to play, baby steps will get our kids closer to playing.

Unfortunately the business aspect of club soccer has those leading these conversations towards a return to big business tournaments and doesn't align with some simplistic showcases, players only, no vendors, no parents, eliminate big crowds.

Clubs are trying to create "bubbles" but already hearing stories of positive cases and teams being sent back home for 2-3 weeks for quarantining setting them back to square one.
 
I have a great idea for SCS and their tournament directors Surf Cup Labor Day Best of the Best ((True risk takers. My dd is all in and I'm working my ass off to lose more weight. I got depressed and fell off the wagon. Shhhhhh, my wifey dont know. Please dont be a bitch and snitch on me.....lol)) Each team drives charter bus in style to their hotel and fields. Four Day, four games for all to see live on TV. No parents allowed except TM and few to keep an eye on the girls. All games live stream for all to watch at home. My wife's parents are getting so old their memory is going away., They would like to see there're little rocket girl play one more game or games. Grandpa went to one game last year ((I wont mention names)) and he was appalled at the lack of effort ganas. It was 103 out in LA so I told him to cut the girls some slack. He is one hard ass to please.......

What college seasons are you talking about? D2 and D3 seasons cancelled nationwide for the Fall. Others may follow.
 
As far as I can tell Albion Showcase is still on. Can't imagine it doesn't get canceled, but at least your getting 90% of your money back. Hmm, maybe there is a possible business opportunity there...
 
With Surf Cup now scheduled for Labor Day weekend, it would be after the current stated NCAA black out period.

So your predicting what the NCAA will do now?

Heard the same about August but they extended it already 3x and the panel I participated in say it may well be into the fall.

If they are having a season why couldn't they recruit? The players I know have all been given their report dates including some have already left. At least at the D1 level.
 
Not predicting. Just stating current facts....is that a problem?

Why would it be?

Surf already did that, they assumed that the Dead period would end july & Aug, and that become a problem for them when it didn't.

What will happen in future? I dunno but until the NCAA say it's over the blackout continues.

Are you filmiar with in person recuiting during the dead period?

the “dead period” restriction – a ban on in person interaction with perspective student athletes.

NCAA has for the 4th consecutive time extended the dead period with no indication that will end.

Report back for play or colleges is a separate thing.

So if all things stay as they are currently scheduled with no change (therefore not trying to predict the future), what happens?

Do you like pies in the sky?

If everything stays the same NCCA does the same thing the have for the last 4 months. Not predicting just stating the facts. If nothing where to change why would they change?

Thanks for providing my point.

You are strong historical events that are factual. Although you are likely right, you are in fact “predicting” something they are likely to do. However the actual fact is that the deadline is set to expire 8/31.

So if nothing changes, it expires...period.
 
Let's hope things work out eventually. Things change so much & quickly nowadays hard to keep up , you never know.

Governor announced new restrictions today for 17 counties including LA and OC but San Diego not included
