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.
The study they produced also was from schools that followed "strict" protocols. Temperatures taken of every student before stepping on school grounds, then again before entering classroom, physical distancing in class, masks all day, all staff temperature checked and tested frequently, hand washing several times a day. Fast testing and tracing. Stringent sanitizing of all surfaces in the school. Imagine our schools now and the non compliance of students and lack of self discipline. Sadly the results would not be the same.
?
Question, how frequently are all the players and coaches tested? After each practice, after each scrimmage, or once a week, once every two weeks? Since children, particularly young children can have covid but be asymptomatic, how do you know they haven't transmitted it to someone in the community or someone in their family who is also asymptomatic, then they pass it on to someone outside the family. If the players and coaches are tested on a regular basis, who pays for it, the club or the family? Or is no one being tested?
Hmmm, interesting, I see a lot of masks being worn in everyday in the OC.
You don't have to wind up in the hospital to have the virus and pass it on. Many, many people are asymptomatic.
Those aren't the testing guidelines recommended by the State of California or the CDC even for schools. In San Diego where youth practices are allowed you can't get a test unless you are showing symptoms or have significant evidence of exposure to a infected individual. It would be irresponsible of any individual that has contact with others to get a test on a whim without symptoms. The processing is already overwhelmed as it is and should be saved for those with actual symptoms. Going on 6 weeks of youth practices in San Diego with no evidence of infection or transmission from these activities. Your fear is unjustified.
Nobody is being tested unless there is a suspicion of sickness. But everyone is supposed to do a symptom and temperature check prior to leaving the house for any session and if suspected of any exposure in their life must quarantine.
There have been zero documented, suspected, or rumored player to player transmissions between the thousands of players at the thousands of practices that have happened these past few months in a community that isn't doing a great job of containing the virus.
One team I know of last week had a player who was possibly exposed at a day camp, so the whole team pulled out of a tournament as a precaution. So it isn't being transmitted in the community via contact on an outdoor soccer field.
It looks like schools are wisely going to be closed here with remote learning until at least October at the earliest. Good. That's smart. Indoor continuous contact is what is fueling the spread of Covid.
But as long as people and clubs are responsible and err on the side of caution like that team I just mentioned, and as long as outdoor intermittent contact via the game of soccer remains an extremely unlikely method of transmission, I see no reason why soccer won't continue to be played.
Distanced or contact in SD?
The guidelines are for distanced.
Yet OC teams are training out in the open in the OC???? I don't get it I really don't...
