I was wondering about the Halloween thing. Can they enforce no Halloween? I'm in a pretty "open minded" area and I could see several neighborhoods still participating. That would be so sad if it couldn't go on!

Speaking of Halloween, this picture was posted on FB today by a friend at Costco --

 
Maybe this year we don't spend money on the parties, but spend on scary decorations. Leave treats close to the sidewalk while we sit near our doors. Every family can social distance from others as we go trick or treating. Besides the parties, Halloween can be enjoyed with social distancing. I hope we don't even have to worry about social distancing by then but if we do, it seems like a very doable holiday.

Some clever sugar-pusher store should work out a way for tricksters to demonstrate their costumes online and receive credits that can be redeemed for a sugar delivery within days.
 
According to our region, AYSO in California has elected to nuke the entire fall season rather than call the kids in for training for a season which may not happen. They aren't going to do the distance training thing. Extras and Adult League too. Haven't confirmed if this is true....just what I'm hearing from our region for which I still sometimes referee.

That is terrible. How many kids that would have played won't be coming back? This is going to hurt the sport especially the girls. In a country where we struggle to keep kids in sport through their teen years this will be devastating.

Kids will be kids. Those who wants to play will find the way to play. For the rest it will just take less time for inevitable, which is not a bad thing.

So true. Teens who are almost adults will be teens for sure. Soccer is the least of our worries right now and we all know why. It would be good to try and lasso up the top 40 goats by age group in Socal and round them up for soccer only. The rest can take the year off. No one wants to do 6 feet this and 6 feet that for the next 6 months. Bye bye.....lol!!! Seriously, it;s good bye soccer, it was nice knowing you. Let's call it a wrap. If you have a 10 year old player, soccer should improve for them. What a complete disaster socall has been over the years with soccer. The Mecca? Ya, right. This was the head of the Beast and Mr Bleach is cleaning things up from all the viruses that we were all plagued with over the years. Selfish Virus. Lying and Misleading Virus. Pay to play virus and so many more I already shared those others. Happy Friday everyone. Stay safe and stay positive :)

I'm the real deal brah.....My soccer pics are in storage and I will go fetch them. Great classics with writes ups from the Daily Pilot. I was baby Spicoli for sures. I put cannabis seeds in my 6th grade teachers planter. I got suspended for it too, for two days. Made the class laugh and that's all that matter to me back then. A true class clown I was. I have one of me with grandpa and my soccer mates down in TJ. One of the best games I ever played in my life. The field was packed with all the local towns people and the food and peeps were amazing. I was the talk of town and everyone thought I was pro, I kid you not. We won 2-0. I saved many shots that day. Mainly because grandpa had a rough day and my other right back sprained his ankle and he was only about 75%. The field had pebbles but super fun little local stadium. Truly one of the great times of soccer in my life. I'm a big show off type person and when i saw all the fans in the stands and people staring at me because, it was on and i was out to prove myself to be a baller and I did.

That's a great story!
 
Financial Friday ​

I say just let her rip today and get real today parents. Enough is enough of this BS!!! So the last four years, I spent thousands upon thousands ((too afraid to look back last four years and add it all up. I did get a free handout for half of a season so I'm grateful for that savings)) and hundreds upon hundreds of hours of my free time volunteering, plus gallons upon gallons of gas driving all over the place, all so my dd could play high level soccer. We were not into soccer for the, "pay the club so one can pay to play and try for the college deal. I know 99% of you were paying to get access to college and I 100% feel your pain and I'm sorry that the last four years of investing in youth soccer to get a college deal looks horrible today. All the parents are out $20,000- $45,000 as of right now, depending how one like to travel? Bail out us? 2018-2019 I got half of what I paid for. Meaning, some lying Docs mislead me and my dd and we got suckered into some dudes ego and I would like half my money back at least. Actually, because of the obvious lies from multiple Docs that year, I want all my dough back. This last season, I'm out thousands again and now this season, we need to pay for 6ft vs 6ft social distancing for fall soccer for this year at best. No thank you. Call me when real soccer will be played with real players. I'm out!!!!

I'm still friends with my local ASYO regional director (I used to be on the board). He said no decision has been made yet but they are not optimistic about a "normal" fall season.

I can understand pay-to-play coaches wanting to get Fall season on the way, but good luck getting volunteer coaches out there this year

I would 100% coach my little goat and the other future goats in AYSO in the fall. Bro, you should go hang out at the beach on any socal coast and you tell me what is more riskier, beach play all day or 6 year olds playing soccer this fall for 30 minutes?

I'm not talking about what's riskier or what's not, all I'm saying if club will start practicing one way or the other, AYSO will not happen this Fall

You are right. Paying hundred per month for social distancing 6ft x 6ft seems ridiculous. The kids are not getting better. Just a way for the club and the coaches to continue making a living.
