Out of state Visiting teams for league or Tournaments games.

Well unless things change MLS-NEXT is essentially a local regional league only for this spring and no post season. This is a big disappointed for the players who where looking to play Barca, RSL, etc and the other teams in the postseason or from other conferences out side of the state.

Since NEXT is through USYS makes you wonder about Cal South beyond local comps. State & Nat cups could be local regional only, unless things change and out of state tournaments are no longer prohibited.
The way I'm looking at it is that this Spring is really nothing more than a pre-season for league in Fall given all the circumstances surrounding Covid. Does it suck to have your weekend games with AZ teams cancelled the night before, sure, but its really a bigger buzzkill for the AZ teams. We have plenty of teams to play in SoCal.
 
Cry me a river. Your “regional league“ is based in socal. You have how many top 50 clubs in a 2 hour radius of your front door?

Most kids are stuck driving 5-8 hours to play the kind of game you get as an off day scrimmage.
We got game in socal and all the great coaches and smart Docs I met in socal all have told me we are the Mecca of Youth Soccer. We own it and it all starts in OC baby!!

I agree. Focus on HSS playoffs and treat club as scrimmages that you can choose to play in on the East Coast. No need to fly across the country for pre-season games. No ganas this Spring, only HSS where the stars are targeted :)
 
Quite the smug, passive aggressive little prick today! Keep it up.
You read way too much into everything I write. Satire is a no for you I guess. Every player that plays HSS is a star and trust me, if your kid is on the field, they will be targeted. It's called ganas and every kid I saw play this year in HHS is fired up and playing to win. I hope calling me a prick is your way of saying hi to me :)

No I just think you think your humor is funny, when it’s not.

When it's your last go around perspective can be a little bit different but you make the best of what, where, or how much you can really play.

18 games in one month might be a bit too much between two tournaments, high school games, and different league games. some players have logged crazy amt of game time in April.
 
Apparently teams coming to SoCal from Arizona to play was only a problem for MLS Next teams. Arizona teams played in SoCal for ECNL this past weekend

Not a league wide mandate for ECNL but varies, some local venues won't permit or some ref associations won't participate, and different counties have various health dept rules so it's not cut & dry.

Leaving it up to the clubs is one way to go about it like ECNL does in some cases.
