OC practice paused

[dad4]

Where there’s a will there’s a way. Blues are not training They’ve stopped for a couple weeks but it’s not stopping my daughter from training, LA Galaxy has camps every week. They own their fields and have very safe social distancing guidelines. That’s where my daughter is this week. We’ve been fortunate to find some sort of training every week since March and if all else fails what they gonna say to me when I show up at the park by myself with her. Ohh we are going to catch covid like that? Governor Nazi Newsom can kiss my ass. He can’t tell us what to do. California is a shit hole state.

Covid sucks. Good luck to your daughter. Hope she can find ways to be happy until things open up again.

Also have a 2010 here. Tough age for no playdates.

What's the deal with these organized scrimmage games in LA? Is that Galaxy hosting "camps"?

 

[Luis Andres]

...you were doing so well, and then ---



Never mind.

ahh you can tell I don’t like the way our governor is handling things. I’m not happy with him. It’s quite frustrating living in CA right now. I can understand them shutting down youth sports and club practice. That’s out of my hands. But my point is that he can’t stop my daughter and I from training in an empty park all to ourselves. That is ridiculous. That’s all I have to say.

there are parents organizing games on their own account. But LA Galaxy is having camps in their private fields. We were there today and I was quite impressed with their social distancing protocols. Very safe.

Galaxy is/has been doing youth camps in Glendale, Diginity, and other places in LA.

This is not youth sports teams under camp guidance, rather just "camps" that don't include youth teams just individuals.

LAUSD is back to school in two weeks so camps end aroung August 10th or so either way.

Welcome back Luis.

Then leave, please, please, please if that is what you believe.

That’s what we’re trying to do to Marxist, please leave. I actually offered to pay for several one way tickets to Venezuela. Please accept.

thinking about Texas a lot lately. California will fall so behind in soccer. Mark my words

These clubs (WCFC and Slammers) are putting themselves at significant legal liability. The Governors order covers the entire state.

I read an article about a 21 year old who ignored his mom's advice on going out. He went out with friends, caught the virus, gave it to his entire family, dad is in the hospital, and was put on a ventilator. WCFC posting their intentions to think outside the box to outmaneuver the governor is a lawyers dream. Idiots.

While I can't really disagree with anything you said, I think that any parents that drive their kids to this practice and then sue because their kid got Covid are even bigger idiots. You assume that risk when you allow your child to attend that practice. Unfortunately, our legal system eliminates any need for individual accountability...it's always someone else's fault.

Definitely different from a 2010 to a 2004. At 10 yrs. old I could probably get my dd's on board to do anything I suggested. At 16, quite a different story.

You can say that again. Oh sweet 16, what a year

This board is more exciting with Luis posting. Thanks for coming back - we can all use a little entertainment in out lives here. And, I disagree... I don't see a few months extra practice (maybe?) for those in Texas being a gamechanger. SoCal will always be at or near the top of the youth soccer landscape.

Just to clarify, it is LA Galaxy the MLS club hosting these camps.

I don't understand this statement at all. Achievement isn't a zero sum game; Texas players getting better doesn't mean that all of a sudden there aren't any good kids from California. The USA's number one player is from Pennsylvania-- are you going to move there?

I think I'm with Luis on this one. So many people are leaving California and moving to Texas and their taking their goats with them and that will make them top of the food chain. They already have some of the best players and now with others and possibly #2, Texas will be #1.

For real? You know several people moving out of state, into an area in the middle of an outbreak, just to play ball?

Number one in what exactly? Population, maybe, but there's a long way to go. In overall talent pool, again, achievement is not a zero sum game. Location means nothing. Should parents take their seven-year-old kids to Rosario Argentina? This whole line of "all these people are moving and therefore the talent pool will be gone" makes no sense, especially in a country that hasn't fully embraced the sport to its fullest training and athletic potential.

No, no one would one move out of Cali to just go play ball. Their leaving to get their kids in a school and not have so much drama and have some sports and not have so many spies watching their every move. Woobie's in Dallas right now and he's from there.
