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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Texans play a very physical, rugby style soccer, if that is what you want, go for it. You can also try, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Georgia. Florida would be good for you too, they play a better style of soccer than Texas.

I know one of the top RE Brokers in the nation. He said city of LA has had the biggest migration of people he has seen in the last 45 years including businesses. Moving out of the city to other counties, and out of state.

Luis, don’t know you but if this guy is agreeing with you......you might want to rethink it.
 
I was exaggerating about Texas but man every time I look at my IG and see all these teams playing I get sad. They have 5 times the covid infection rate and they are playing on like the cowboys that they are over there. I haven’t heard 1 story of covid19 and kids ending up in hospitals over there. Especially athletes that are healthy. I was so excited in the middle of June and once the mask wars started it all went downhill here in CA. A true smack in the face from our greasy Governor Newsom. There is no way we are having tournaments in August. We couldn’t get past the 6ft separation practices cause the cowboys here did not wanna to put on their masks. I hate the masks as well but for the sake of club soccer. I’d wear one all day.
