where are the stories of the healthy soccer community over there ending up in hospitals with covid. No reports of kids or parents. I’m following it closely and they can serve as our guinea pigs.

Yeah not sure how this poster can use Texas and Florida as model examples when they are two of the hardest hit states right now.

Only problem I see is if anyone playing is still having team practices who's showing up to play. If that's the case it's 100% selfish becuse that entire club runs the risk of shutting down if one of those kids shows up and plays with the virus and passes it on. Honestly as a parent right now I would want to know if any of the girls on my daughter's team was frolicking in LAs Corona hot bed playing a pick up in a Mexican soccer league.

I'll give you a pass since you've been away from the forums, but you're entering into a circular argument.
First you say, "kids aren't getting it and if they do they aren't getting hit hard".
Then anyone else is going to say, "yeah, but you do know how a virus works, right?"
Then you'll say "okay but only keep the potentially hard-hit people home".
Then someone else is going to say "that's what we are doing and people are choosing to stay home".
Then you'll say "okay but now you're being sheeple".
Then the non sequiturs start flying.
Instead, I'll ask one simple question: what would it take for you to change your mind about the potential danger of the virus?

It will all be over on the second Tuesday in November, one way or another.
I should rephrase it to that’s where we will be playing. We haven’t started that league yet as I’m putting together a road team as a back up plan but we have been doing technical trainings that meet social distancing requirements. If all tournaments are cancelled next month and there is no season, which we will know sometime next month then at that point, we’ll play in the Hispanic league for the rest of the year. I don’t see a way for tournaments to happen with 100’s of people attending unless we can test for covid prior to starting the tournament.

Can’t train speed. You can work by yourself with a ball and a wall. Playing others sports and learning other movements also helps to reduce injuries.
My proposition to Newsom:
If we protect people that are 65 and over and anyone with underlying conditions from 50-65 range and the rest of this group with n95 masks. Have the 65+ (retired) Quarantine and wait for the vaccine. While the rest of us the healthy population build herd immunity. Covid becomes the flu after removing the population most at risk = Ages 50+ It approaches the flu when we further realize the fact we are not even considering the undetected cases out there that are not part of the total number of cases discovered greater than 40% asymptomatic. And not considering if you take the additional step to further quarantine obesity (43%) and people with underlying conditions from the 0-49 age group. Then you are dealing with the flu at 0.1% death rate. 30% of the population needs to be in quarantine and more than 1/2 of this group is already retired. We need logical solutions that come with options. We can’t take the communist approach. Of everybody locked down. ♂

I don’t disagree with you there. You can’t make someone who is slow fast but you can improve someone who’s fast with training for speed. Playing other sports is a plus to make a well rounded athlete.

Accordingly, all youth soccer players should forgo the spring soccer season and run track instead.
Track seems feasible especially during covid. I’m actually looking for track teams near my area. After watching my daughter hang with a current track star on her soccer team, I’ve convinced her to start track this year. She may not have a shot at the 100m vs the top ones out there but she has potential to run the 400 and the 800. She’s got great soccer speed and I’m really curious to see how her speed fairs against the track star goats out there in 2020
Lot of coaches over 55 out there. Looks like we need a changing of the guard this year. Referees too.
They need to wear the n95 masks and come out coaching like this.
The problem of covid19 stems from the asymptomatic cases from fit and healthy people that can transmit without knowing. That’s where the danger lies. The logical solution is this.
“The reason why the fittest population needs to build herd immunity first is to eliminate them from becoming vectors later that can potentially infect the population at risk if it’s re-introduced back from Quarantine through the phases.” #crux They desperately need the vaccine to come back from quarantine.

Saw an email that Slammers had over 600 kids at their " CAMP" in Newport last weekend. Training also going on today and this weekend, hope no ones dd gets the virus. Those parks in Newport are pretty small to social distance on. Must be a hell of a waiver the parents signed since Cal South and ECNL wont cover them
Lot's of rumor mill going on out there. I would like to see a club challenge the rules set out by our Governor and maybe this is the way to do it? I know some don't like that and want everyone to follow the same set of rules the rest of us are obeying. My buddy lives in HB and their doing a recall down there and not a lot folks wearing a Mask. We should be all watching for the DMs in HB and all the soccer junkies breaking some rules set out by the health pros.
My son's GK trainer has been kicked off now from 2 fields (one in LA County and one in VC county in the last 2 weeks. My son's field trainer has been kicked off of 3. When they were shutting him down, I stopped to chat up the parks and rec guy (after putting on a mask). Guy was wearing a mask in a completely empty field....really insane....told me while normally they just wink and a nod with PT, they have strict instructions now in the 2 counties to shut it down. Even at the height of the lockdowns DYS had his once weekly goalkeeper training. This is so much worse for him than the initial lockdown....he's very close right now to cracking (a lot of regression in his behavior....moderate signs of depression). So glad we are getting out (older will have a pool to lap practice). Assuming I get medical clearance this Monday, we'll be in the great state of Utah before the end of the week.
insane, guy wearing a mask in a complete empty field.
Just like the dude I saw the other day driving with a mask inside his car by himself with the windows up and ac on.

I wish that was true but even you can't honestly believe that. Brutal political bias aside you know that isn't correct, right? I need it for my own edification...

Let’s just say the alarmists will be much more quiet after the election.
We are playing and training normally here in Texas, and have been for months. Tournaments started a few weeks ago and are continuing every weekend. ECNL schedules are out (but not publicly published). Kids are playing, but spectator numbers are severely limited and there are firm rules for players to mask up and socially distance when not active on the pitch.
Two facts.
One, we are doing a terrible job as a community of slowing the spread of the virus in Texas.
Two, not a single case of Covid has been transmitted on the soccer field in the past several months while hundreds of teams have been training and scrimmaging together. Zero cases of player to player transmission. Not. A. Single. One.
Outdoor soccer has so far proven to not be a serious risk. There simply isn't the 15+ minutes of continuous close, poorly ventilated contact that the research shows is fueling the contagion.
There are lots of dumb things people are doing here in Texas that are risky and are fueling the spread (bars, church, overnight camps, restaurants, probably schools, etc). But the kids are getting to play soccer because the only reason not to do so is because it might make some Karen feel better about their false opinion that preventing outdoor soccer might be a significant contributor to ending the spread of the virus.
Current status is the parent's field access is severely limited with social distancing and mask restrictions (for game) or simply being confined to their cars (for training or scrimmages) and I don't see that changing soon. Good. It's a small price to pay for the kids getting safely play.
