No games until 2021

What we are now seeing is a hyper divide of soccer for Socal teams:. Those that have the means to travel out of state to scrimmage, play in a league with out of state teams, or play in out of state tournaments. Greater pay to play segregation

Travel to play out of state is becoming more common, all the Thanksgiving tournaments are out of state now so teams are planning to travel, Surf at new years, league games for out state teams, etc.

I dunno what % of teams can afford to play out of state regularly and the time spend doing so but it's definitely trending higher as this goes on in CA.

There has to be some creative solutions to get some updates to the youth sports guidance, the traditional stuff hasn't worked, hopefully CIF gets that done in time for Dec football start but Im letting my gov reps know that youth sports is going on one way or the other so let's try to keep some of that local.
 
I think we can all agree that if you lean one way, a simple google search and you can find articles, etc., that back your opinion. Same goes for your neighbor who leans the other way. That is part of the problem. Well meaning people don't know who/what to believe.
That's why you have to look at actual data as to what has happened and base your decisions on reality. Projections and future estimates are interesting talking points but are virtually worthless for predicting the future and at no point in time have expert's opinions been more worthless than during Covid. The same so-called experts have changed their own opinions 180 degrees in some cases (like WHO and Fauci).

I hate masks, its uncomfortable rebreathing your own air and they fog up my glasses, but I suspect they provide some level of protection; however, small. So I continue to wear them in indoor public spaces as required by the business. Its a token inconvenience and it gives others a sense of security (even if it doesn't provide real security). Please remember you can only get Covid from someone that has Covid and you can only spread Covid if you have it. Some make it out to seem that if your in a group without masks your automatically going to get Covid.
 
My dd is at the age of recruitment now. She followed the rules and decided to wait until June 15th to start the process. I know she's selfish for even wanting to play soccer at the highest level in college in California. As things stand, my soon to be 17 year old is sh*t out of luck and she should do something else with her time some say. Well guess what? She is determined to play and I'm determined to help her play. After Nov 3rd, we shall see what the next moves will be. If were like this through next year or past, then she's going to see how much she really loves soccer. Right now, no official soccer games allowed in the state of California.
she is too old to play in @Luis Andres tournament.....

I will confess before you all. I wear the dam mask so I dont get yelled out by those on the left WHO wear their freaking mask as a political statement. I dont want to get yelled out by some Karen or scared littlie kitten with claws. Dam those cats!!! Anyway, it's not worth it yet. I hope someday to rip my mask off my face forever!!! Were born on this planet to wear a mask so a 85 year old wont die?
 
Elizabeth Warren applied to college as Native American, even though she is 1/1024 NA. So you’re good.
I told everyone my son is at SDSU for free!!!! My dd just needs to stay in shape, play her ass off and get ready when her chance comes. She was born for this and I'm helping her as long as she says, "when is my next game daddy."
 
My wife is actually 12.5 Cherokee. She told me her grandmother married a white dude. Actually, Scottish men and Cherokee had much respect for another because both lived on the land and were treated bad in history. They married one another in them early days I've been told. Check this out @espola

“The Scottish fur traders arrived in the colonies largely as single men. The Scots were so compatible with the Indians that after 1750 nearly all the fur traders among the Eastern Indians were Highland Scots. They soon aligned with Native American women. These marriages facilitated trade because Native wives usually taught their husbands their tribal languages. It was well acknowledged the key roles that Native wives played in their husband's operations.
Historically there were a number of parallels between the American Indians and the Highland Scots. The two groups had much in common. The Cherokee admired the Highland Scots whom they considered fellow warriors. Each had fought lengthy battles, stretching over centuries, both against one another and against English speaking invaders. Members of both groups being driven from their homelands deepened the parallel. Both were mountain people with proud, independent, warrior societies who gloried in a good fight, rough games and reckless living. Each had achieved partial, but by no means complete, success in fending off invasions. As indigenous peoples, their social structures reflected numerous similarities. Each viewed land as essentially a communal resource, not a commodity to be bought and sold for profit. Each identified itself by bands or clans, and since chiefdom descended through lineage, each devised a system flexible enough to allow selection of the best person for the job. Both were clan societies which considered loyalty to the clan their first obligation. An Indian's insistence on vengeance for the killing of a member of his clan was perfectly understood by an 18th century Highlander with a similar custom. There were even parallels between their harvest ceremonies. Both cultures were primarily oral, with folklore and stories passed on to the children containing the distilled wisdom of their people. Finally, the deep wisdom and strength of character that each group has displayed over the centuries has allowed them to endure their calamities with dignity.”

All I know and what I’ve seen going East for games is that calif is losing millions weekly from softball, baseball, volleyball, and soccer games. Never seen it so busy on I-10, seen numerous moving vans...
 
State parks? Tahoe? Lassen? Those are all for adults. How many kids can get to Tahoe or Lassen on their own?

I’m talking city parks and school yards. Like the basketball court with no hoops down the street from me. The city parks with the bathrooms locked 24/7. Or the middle school field with no one playing baseball. These are the places kids normally can go and play.

What do city park and rec closures have to do with Sacramento? Sacramento has the infectious disease experts. Sacramento asked for the shutdown. Sacramento developed the watch list and the color system. Now all of a sudden you want me to believe this is no time for central leadership?

Hogwash. Infectious disease is a key time for central leadership- both for shutdowns and openings. So far, leadership on openings has focused on the things adults use. Higher risk, but linked to employment so it gets attention.

Some focus on opening kid entertainment would be helpful. Especially because we still need guidance on how to open up intelligently.

Instead, we are making up our own rules. Even those of us who support Newsom are making it up as we go. Why? Because the state hasn’t given us a better alternative.

The lack of league games is not stopping the boys from playing. In our area the older HS boys have formed their own "league" and scrimmage every week. There are no coaches and they manage themselves. There are enough boys to have four teams, and the last scrimmage that I watch, I saw four different club teams. They don't schedule any fields, they don't ask permission of any authority, they don't ask permission from their clubs. They just do it
 
Most Guatemalan’s and southern Mexicans are Native Americans.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says “American Indian or Alaska Native” are those “having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintain cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.”

It's all going to Arizona and not San Diego. WHO is hurt by all this? I know a tasty Mexican Taco place in Oceanside that took a huge hit because no soccer or sports. It will soon read, "The Annual Economic Loss And Social and Mental Health Impact."
