This is good news and, as you state, given the relatively high rate of the virus at this point in Texas, it gives credence to the notion that outdoor sports is not a high risk activity. One question. Are you doing normal trainings or are they modified to ensure social distance?

When we picked back up in May they were socially distanced sessions. June and July have been normal training sessions and scrimmages (but with common sense restrictions for off-the-pitch social distancing when players are on the bench or getting water or arriving /departing, plus the limitations on any spectators).

Supposed to be distanced but some clubs with their own facilities are doing things like there was never Covid. It is a mixed bag in SD.

It’s just a “clinic” in Oceanside. Maybe they are keeping their distance.
I like the quote about what to do when “no one is watching”. Like today at their clinic. Nobody is allowed to watch.

Serious question- if your club is following the rules, would you move to a club like this so your kid could play?

The picture on the right is in reference to a new coach at the club. Do not combine it with something unrelated. The club was highlighting her career and her many accomplishments and this post by her was to inspire players to give their most even when practicing alone, running or where ever or when ever you train to be the best possible player that you can be. Don't just give 100%, give 110%! Don't misconstrue the purpose of the post.

To a club breaking the rules? No. However, I am willing to go to a place where the rules allow it assuming that I deem it safe. I'm guessing places like TX and AZ will reach Cuomo's "Sun on the other side" level of immunity in the next month or so. Assuming that happens, I'd definitely have her play there assuming we are still shut down.

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.

That's good that no one has had symptoms, just concerned with those who might have it with zero symptoms.

Hate to break it to you, but the Titanic has already crashed and your blaming the 1st officer because you don’t like they way he’s handing out the life rafts.

What happened to the captain?

You and I know that it's all about viral exposure over an extended period of time in places (usually inside) with limited air exchange/ventilation. However, have you ever seen the the president's corona task force explain this to the American people? i.e. https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them

I don't thing the average American knows this. If they did, I think most Americans would voluntarily wear masks in the "danger" zones (i.e. gatherings indoors). I think this would have gone a long way in limiting the new outbreaks in Fl., Tx., & Az.

insane, guy wearing a mask in a complete empty field.o_O 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. ‍♂

A guy put on a mask when he approached an anti-vaxxer who completely disregards social distancing ordinances? What’s weird about that? And do you think maybe the guy wearing a mask in the car just forgot to take it off since they really aren’t an imposition and don’t cause people to die of CO2 poisoning?

What is wrong with all of you? You whine about your kids not being able go to school or practice soccer when you’re the problem.

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

You couldn't social distance 600 kids on 2 football fields.

I was concerned about that, too. But apparently it is really, really hard to spread the virus on a soccer field doing normal soccer activities.

I assume that's because it doesn't satisfy many of the main criteria that are proven to be high risk for delivering a communicable load of the virus (close, continous contact of more than 15 minutes in a poorly ventilated space).

Those same reasons make me assume that while local training and games will continue here in Texas, overnight travel soccer isn't happening soon and nor should it. It's not that the soccer is any more risky at home or in the road, but it's the other things that accompany a normal soccer night in a team hotel.

Pretty much all of team travel outside of the games is about extended close indoor contact. That's a big risk for asymptomatic transmission.

ECNL and GA tentative schedules are now released for Texas, and for the near future it looks like all day trips or local games.

I should have said "mostly" day trips and local games that last sentence. "All" may not quite be true.

Could you share what the schedule looks like as far as dates?

@EOTL YES!!! This is exactly right!! I have friends and idiots in my own family who are not listening to the rules, co-mingling with various people every weekend yet are bitching about schools not opening, sports, etc. and I know some of these family members will be the first ones crying and grabbing their xanax and rosary if they infect their elderly family members whom they interact daily with... did I mention they're idiots???

Local tournaments and friendlies through August.

First weekend of ECNL and GA games is Sept 5th.

Games most every weekend until early December.

Pause for high school (if high school soccer happens normally this year, in Texas it normally runs from January through early April).

Club games pick back up in late April.

Lots of sensible restrictions on the games and procedures until the Covid situation changes. No handshakes, no passing around player cards, limits on number of masked family members allowed to attend, etc.

That sounds like a really reasonable solution. I wish we were doing the same thing here.
