Is Surf Cup happening?

Sounds like she doesn’t need Surf Cup if all the top scouts were there watching!! Keep her injury free until to get a proper timeline to train with your team. It’s not worth it!
Scouts that she cared about were wearing red shirts and they were there. Surf Cup is all about college coaches and those are the one's she would like to impress now. This was a big time Socal vs NoCal and two of the best youth coaches in the country. They taught possession soccer unlike any other coaches out there outside of Barcelona or MLVA.
 
What do we make of this?
Honest question, if San Diego County Health Department allows the tournament to happen, who does Newsome send to stop this tournament from happening. It’s on private property. Would the CHP become his enforcement arm?

I don’t think Surf will try to hold a tournament if it is illegal. 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.

I think it’s more about keeping options open, praying that numbers come down enough to get permission.

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.

Social workers. That's the answer in 2020. Everything from soccer mom Karens to violent, career criminals... being treated with the dignity they deserve.
 
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:


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.

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 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!
