I hope Albion does not pull the stunt they did a few years back where it was raining and most teams just did penalty kicks to advance no real games and still charged full boat. That would be social distancing at it's best - "Penalty Kicks Tourney 2020".
Our club's little tournament had to do that one year when the city closed most of the fields due to rain. We had to get special permission to even do the PK sessions. Some teams told us they were never coming back, and I don't know if they did or not.
You just gave those folks a great idea! At this point I’d take PK’s and the beach in SoCal over staying home and doing nothing in NorCal.

Yes they scrambled with zero contingency plan seeing that there was rain in the forecast and playing majority of games on grass...Most teams played zero games and did PKs for games and yes many clubs vowed they would never return as no discounts were given...
They have land but they don't waste their water growing grass.
However, this site, owned by Sycuan Indians, might be usable with a little work.
About 20 acres - might be good for 8 full-sized fields and support (parking, restrooms, vendors, etc).
Even that would violate the calsouth and state distancing guidelines because there’s to be no handling of balls and no shooting on the goalkeepers. Even at the la galaxys summer camp there’s no gk training for that reason. I suppose they could try and get a waiver to shoot it into the empty net.
The surf curse continues part 9:
Ever since surf Thanksgiving 19 when they insisted on ignoring the weather, cancelled the first day and then scheduled many teams on wet fields for 40 min games they have been cursed.
Someday when they finally do the right thing maybe the curse will be broken but 2 man City cup attempts, 3 youngers, 3 olders Surf "reschedules" later....
When the NCAA black out period is extended past Sept look for number #1O for the olders.

A friend sent me the latest guidance from the Cal Dept of Health dated July 30. Anyone else see this? I can't find the full text online (she just sent me the cover page). Was something released?
From the first page it seems distanced practices are o.k. under the guidance, but contact of any kind is not. There's no time table for opening it up (unless it's on another one of the pages). Tournaments are expressly called out as being prohibited so I don't see anything happening in the near future.

Tried but can't transfer it over. July 30, 2020. To All Californians. Subject Youth Sports Questions and Answers. State of California-- Health and Huan Services agency....California Department of Public health.
If I'm reading it correctly too no club soccer season (club sports specifically called out). But we sort of already knew that.

Trying to figure out how much development my player will receive in her socially distanced box with no way to measure said development against other players.
Not to mention the gks have no way of training now outside of private 1 to 1. Strikers if they are shooting will be at an empty net so long as they follow the rules. This also is the cancellation of the soccer season. Since the vaccine likely won’t be available for kids until late spring 2020-2021 Season seems to be cancelleD

It was sent to me by a friend. I searched but could not find it online.
