Sure. Someone gets sick. Ends up in the hospital or worse and whatever coach, parents, or club organized the practice gets blamed and loses everything. The liability is much worse than any health department penalty.Plenty of teams out there (not just soccer) holding “unofficial” practices this coming week.
Anyone know the penalty for violating the order?
I think the “gain” is that clubs can justify the cost for “club soccer”.Sure. Someone gets sick. Ends up in the hospital or worse and whatever coach, parents, or club organized the practice gets blamed and loses everything. The liability is much worse than any health department penalty.
You would have to be pretty dumb to organized practices in this mess. Official or not.
What is to be gained specially since there probably wont be any games in the fall.
How will they penalize clubs that are caught to many to even keep count. Can south doesn’t even know what’s going on. cites are allowing to have “camps” and not abiding by state law. And those that are having camp or unofficial practices are having parents sign waivers to not hold the city or club/team liable. So what’s their to really doPlenty of teams out there (not just soccer) holding “unofficial” practices this coming week.

I keep seeing letters from OC but what about LA county I haven’t seen anything published. I know all cities are not permitted but nothing on paper maybe that what they need to stopYouth sports were never allowed by state under day camp guidelines.
Here is the letter from the OC.
There wont be youth sports until the California Department of public health releases direct guidelines for youth sports. Even then some sports such as football are considered high risk and still wont be allowed.
New York has only recently started allowed low risk sports to start training. Soccer is probably considered moderately high risk compared to sports like tennis or golf.

I am in NorCal. Our county order effective today spells "modified version of contact sports are allowed". The practice with 6' distance seems OK in NorCal.
"Some recreational sports such as tennis, bowling, running, or archery, during which you can maintain six feet of distance. Only modified versions of contact sports are allowed to maintain distance — such as shooting hoops on a basketball court, but not playing competitively."
Unless the county relaxes it’s youth sports policy. They would continue to loose a lot of money if they can’t issue permits for field rental.LA unified announced they wont open so this fall so that basically means no to field permits at any LA school.

my heart goes out to all the families with 2 working parents and young kids who will have to figure out a way to educated their kids remotely while balancing their work schedules.
They will probably furlough a bunch of maintenance workers. There will be no need to maintain grounds if there are no inschool sport activities. There will be massive cost cutting everywhere.Yeah that's ruff on families.
We asked the LA school district about field rentals possiblites if schools where not open in the fall session. Besides telling us soccer has to come after football there answer was...we have no plans to even take applications for permits if the schools are not open.
I can promise you it's not a rumor, but seeing how defensive you got about it is kind of telling that you know as well.Your jealously is telling. You don't know a few blues teams that are training because the Blues have told their coaches and players it is a no go. If you know teams doing it say so, otherwise stop with the false rumor mongering. Personal training a few players is not Blues training either.
I am defensive because you are spreading b.s. You love to attack the Blues. I have seen the email from their leadership. NO Training. Period. It is also on their social media. You want to spread this general allegation, yet are too cowardly to put a team behind this. I am amazed at how juvenile adults act on these boards. I thought we were all out of junior high school.I can promise you it's not a rumor, but seeing how defensive you got about it is kind of telling that you know as well.
Ok you just confirmed you are on that team, eventually you guys will get caught. Also, you are right...an email has always stopped people from breaking the rules.I am defensive because you are spreading b.s. You love to attack the Blues.

many are not following the rules from teams practicing on the DL to strength and agility training to coaches charging their own players for “private sessions”. The last one is the one that gets me. Sounds very unethical to me. Sad part is parents go along with it for fear that their kids will fall behind.
