There are 6 players on this team that are the same age as my son one of which is a good friend ( negative so far) and this just came out:

Galaxy suspend training as 11 from USL team test positive for coronavirus

The Galaxy have suspended training and increased COVID-19 testing after 11 members of its USL Championship affiliate tested positive for the virus.

Sacramento, San Diego, and Orange County USL have also suspended games or practice in the meantime.

I'm curious to see what exposure Sacramento ends up with having just played them... if any.

For starters, their insurance carrier probably wouldn’t honor the liability policy for such an event. A big enough covid, sports injury, or parking lot accident lawsuit could financially ruin the club.

THIS. Legal or not, no club is in such dire straits that they would run the risk just for a small boost of cash. If their insurance says "yeah, sorry, too much risk", then the tournament simply does not happen.

The polo fields are City property. Surf leases the land from the City. Pretty sure they just won a bidding process a year or two ago for a new lease of that land. Teams can't practice if the City says too much water/rain so the City will have to grant permission for a tournament to happen there in the middle of a pandemic with a strong-arming Governor. Not going to happen. But Galway Downs is private, pretty sure, and in Riverside County.

The Oceanside fields are city-owned and operated by the owners of Surf Cup through a curious arrangement that saw the Oceanside City Council approve a development plan whose graphical presentation included free public access, grassy play areas, shade trees, picnic tables, etc, all funded by lease fees from businesses located around the perimeter.

True. Especially with the $$ windfall they received from PPP.

Does it have to take place in California?
Surf Cup Utah might be a nice alternative.

@timbuck- Now your talking. Good idea.Or just do smaller regional tournaments and winner of each just roll to Utah for the quarter final, Semi's and Finals. First we have to find out if they can move the dead period back to say end of August or just allow scout to come to Utah!

I like that idea. My buddy and his kids are at some park walking around looking at big rock formations. I'm going to the beach at 4 to swim and hang out with my wife until were called into soccer parent duty. I miss it so Tim Buck. I know you know soccer and I want 100% your opinion only. If a female athlete at 16 has stayed in good shape and ate, oh so so and had a few cheeseburgers, shakes, fries and taco bell this summer, how much does one need to be ready to go all in ganas for a real soccer game?
 
100's of teams from different area codes mixing together for a weekend of soccer is what everyone is worried about , I don't think they'll let it happen, local practice is one thing but it would be too big of a melting pot. And there has too be a liability that Surf would be responsible for don't you think? I miss watch my kid play but I don't miss it that much-Support your club, thru these tough times is the best thing you can do..

Besides that many clubs don't practice at all and those that do, doing so illegally.
