Lockdown kills people and it might be more. There’s two sides that need to be accurately told. Kids will be much more effected by lockdown than the virus. No youth sports is plain dumb and almost criminal.

The quoted article is from an English news source discussing the situation in UK. It states that lockdown may cause 200,000 deaths there due to various causes, and also states that the lockdown there saved 500,000 lives.

Don't you read what you post?

Media doesn’t report kids deaths by lockdown. You can extrapolate America deaths caused by lockdown Conditions. Hint It will be much higher than U.K. and kids will more likely die over a lockdown than the China virus.
 
I know a few kids and dads who are holding out hope soccer will come back. After my dd run in 2017 for the natty, she stopped training 4 days a week, every week after the first year of GDA. Some of her Friends kept that rigorous training schedule up until Corona. i know many of these girls were deeply committed to achieving the 4.5 and 1400 SAT, plus soccer four days a week and now you have none of that and no school this fall to boot. Some kids were getting ready for football. Tough on some kids and freedom for others. For my dd, she has freedom unlike any time in her life and she is stoked and making the most of all this. The adults are going to have to answer for all this later. Were way down the rabbit hole and all that stuff.

It's not as simple as slogans.

DD is miserable because she cant play. She's also super close to her grandmother, who is 78 and has multiple pre-existing conditions. She'd also be miserable if grandma were on a ventilator.

That's the conflict.

I think the financial pressure is making folks irrational. My kid is focusing on board sports until we return. We are having a blast at the skatepark Mon- Fri and surfing on the weekends. And hopefully we can do some snowboarding this upcoming winter.

It’s time to make lemonade out of the COVID lemons folks.

Really? I thought my dd and I were going to give your family some surf lessons when your down in the OC? Nocal is cold too. What beach? I'm a little jealous but I'm glad she's learning other things to do besides soccer. My dd went on a 6 mile endurance hike with some friends and kicked ass yesterday. A couple stud dudes told my dd and her friend that they couldn't hang and handle the workout and would turn around and go back. I met up with guys afterwards and they told me they have never seen a girl hang like my dd did. I got goose bumps like when she scores a game winner in soccer. It was cool :)

Well, we’ve been focused on the skate park and she’s picking it up fast. Yesterday she came over to the bench that I was sitting on and said “dad, that dude keeps snaking me.” I’m still trying to figure what she meant but I think she‘s picking up on skater slang.

We haven’t started surfing yet. I’m thinking Linda Mar in Pacifa. I thought my buddy was going to give us lessons but he doesn’t want to lose “cool points” at the beach with me. I guess its not cool to surf with a 5mm wetsuit, hood, gloves, booties, and heated rash guard.

I may have to wait until I see you for the lessons. Is my surf gear that lame or is my buddy being a diva?

No, warm is key. "Don;t hop me" is what I said

The thought occurred to me that this is really the first real, meaningful shared sacrifice that the US -- and really the world -- has gone through since WW2. Everyone does their part, keep calm and carry on, Rosie-the-Riveter kind of thing, only it's the entire planet vs. the virus. It sounds silly but it's worth talking with your kid about playing their part in this truly global battle. (It didn't make my kid feel much better but at least they understand the significance)
 
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? :p 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.

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.

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

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.
