Only REAL Albion and Surf Cup Updates

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".
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.
 
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.
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...
 
Still waiting for official confirmation. But rumor is Surf Cup for youngers is cancelled. I assume that means Albion Cup would be cancelled as well.
 
Maybe one of the Indian casino sovereign landholders with offer a way out

Stay and play at the XYZ Resort Casino - Reopened Now

St rules don't apply on sovereign land, let's go they have some grass fields somewhere will bring the goals

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.

Well I was I formed from team manager Albion is canceled for us . Any tournament from here until the end of the year will not happen plain and simple. Teams need to work on Developing and stop focusing on tournaments
 
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

well.... confirmation of what we pretty much all knew. Where can we find this? Do you happen to know? @Grace T. (your post of CDC picture)
It was sent to me by a friend. I searched but could not find it online.

yup I feel for my GK and all the other GK... yes the privates are helpful and I'm thankful for them, but it's just not the same as game time situations.

I couldn't find the cdc post online either, weird. Hopefully, the clubs will just be real with families, call it a day then figure out how to stay fit within the guidelines and lets hope kids stay interested in the game and the little clubs and coaches stay in business. Truly a bummer for the Jr and Sr in HS, thankfully most games are recorded these days so hopefully they'll all have good reels to send out.

I’m not so sure about that. The prohibition on sharing equipment, which led some to conclude you couldn’t shoot on GKs, was in the day camp rules. This youth sports Q&A only mentions physical distancing and contact. Players could still shoot on GKs in individual drills and maintain physical distancing.

Probably the same as mine in her box. Everyone is going to look sloppy the first week back.

I am more worried about her mood.
 
We have not received official notification from Albion Cup yet about cancellation. We are signed up so I hope something official comes out soon.
