Youth sports still aren't reflected on what's allowed or not on the activity/tier framework. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CI.../COVID-19/Dimmer-Framework-September_2020.pdfWhich charts are you looking at? I don't see any data that suggests OC was in red 1-5 days ago.
Being in orange vs red is almost irrelevant as far as soccer is concerned. I noticed our state government finally added "youth sports" to the list of activities/businesses to the blueprint for re-opening. Unfortunately, no matter what tier you're in, it refers to the same August 3 guidelines that prohibits contact.

I'm fine with playground getting higher priority than soccer, but are State employees not capable of multi-tasking to logically address other outdoor activities at the same time?
I guess this could be a good thing (its not boxed into a strict framework), or a bad thing (youth sports aren't even being considered). To me if youth sports isn't "boxed in" it represents a chance for some strong lobbying efforts by the leadership of youth sports organizations. It seems to me I've seen two approaches by sports organizations: 1) F$%# it we're going to do what we want until someone tells us otherwise... i.e. ask for forgiveness instead of permission, or 2) Be good little sheeple and do nothing and hope that someone in Sacto takes up the interest of youth sports...which appears to be the youth soccer organizations' approach.
