New Youth Sports Guidance

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.
you can blame TikTok for that distraction
 
Many clubs charged something to parents during lock down. If season is not happening, they will try to justify it by running training/camps or whatever just to get kids out there. AYSO don't have to do this. 99% of AYSO coaches wouldn't know how to run distance training anyway. I just seen one the other day trying it and it was a disaster. Do you really think if colleges canceling their season, youth soccer games will resume in Fall?
Yes, I see club soccer games (or scrimmages) resuming to some extent this fall. College and high schools are distracted with their main priority of providing an education. AYSO is recreational, volunteer based and have a huge national cash reserve so not as much urgency on their end. Clubs however are dependent solely on kids playing so I do see them preparing for games as soon as state/local governments allow it (fingers crossed) by this fall.
 
We were told today that a friends club was telling players no games until December. No official announcement, but it's so annoying when this stuff floats around before any official announcement.
 
More baby steps:
Today Orange County finally fell below State's threshold (100 case rate and 8% positivity rate) needed to allow in-person schools. OC will need to stay under this threshold for 14 days to re-open school. While there is no such clear guideline for youth sports, if in-person school is allowed, it's much easier to make a case for contact practice/scrimmage.
FYI Messi....this was reported from Voice of OC today.

But the state’s reporting system glitched and there’s a backlog of up to 300,000 test results that haven’t been reported to counties yet, said Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of the state Department of Health and Human Services.


“That failure led to inaccurate case numbers and case positivity rates,” Ghaly said at a Friday news conference.
 
Really? Someone below me said the same thing! Lol Have you seen the tons of other posts with the same type of speculation?
No I haven't. I could care less that you posted it. But you have an issue with people floating rumors and you did just that. Found it rather ironic.
 
In this time of uncertainty, everyone will have a rumor and chances are that club soccer will start in....2021. The state of NY is allowing kids to go back to school I believe. Let’s see how they do and this will determine if California has a chance for soccer games before December.
To me the most annoying part is that youth baseball teams are already scrimmaging this weekend. Soccer follows the rule and nobody else does.

This weekend? Try since mid may
 
I heard a huge rumor this morning from a friend who is a fly on the wall at Big Club meetings. His dd is a true Unicorn as well so he gets the inside scoops. I promised him I wouldnt come on here and share the rumor. My lips are sealed.
