Return to training

Everywhere I go there's kids "social distance" training... doing cone drills with the same ball... then taking a water break where 20 girls stand 6" apart from each other.

Seriously... who are we kidding?

It is called the dog and pony show. It makes some parents feel like they are doing their part.

In AZ they have to walk to the field wearing a mask. Once on the field they scrimmage, hang out, huddle, etc.

So I am guessing scientifically the powers that be have determined covid only is found between the car and the field.

There was one summer back when my kids were playing in soccer tournaments all over SoCal that wencountered in several locations portapotties where someone had taken a crap on the seat. There are several posters here that have a similar mindset, just trying to see what they can get away with. I suspect that they have no other power in their obviously pitiful lives.

Why would they have to have two weeks of Zoom training. The two parents tested positive, so that kid should test and then sit out.

Practice hasn't started yet, so no one had contact with anyone with positive findings.

If one of the kids caught it and brought it home, how long until you know?

Remember, many places won't give you a test for an asymptomatic kid. You might not suspect the family has it until the mom or dad shows symptoms. You have to wait kid incubation, then transmission window, then adult incubation.

Or, you can do half assed measures and watch it hop all over your team. But dont scrimmage us if that's your plan.

Can you stay on topic, please? You wouldn't want the town crier coming after you.

We're talking about returning to training here.
 
This week is the most promising in the last 6 months for my player. Two 6 x 6 soccer camp training sessions, one early morning private session that is all sweat and ganas, one video session and one hike run. Throw in some surfing and that is a good week. Online school starts up in 11 days. One day at a time and let the chips fall as they may :)

Exactly. I'm all for doing my part... we wear masks, we've put grandma on quarantine... but this nonsense about wearing a mask from the car to the field, and back, just seems ridiculous. We aren't supposed to be scrimmaging in NoCal yet but what difference does it make if you're using the same ball for drills? Does The Rona die from Cone A to Cone B when it's 10' away? How is that different from shoulder to shoulder contact, etc?

P.S. - My apologies, in advance, if I offended grandparents with "ageism".

Mask is on from car to field because it is easy to do and helps a tiny bit. Mask is off during practice because wearing a mask while running is less easy to do.

Sharing a ball for passing drills is not as risky as scrimmages. In one case, you breathe in air from someone 2 feet away. In the other, you don't.

Why all the bogus comparisons? You can figure this stuff out.

It's not bogus. If you knew a kid was contagious with the flu, would you allow your kid to hold the same ball they just held 30 seconds ago?

And "helps a tiny bit" isn't a strong enough reason for me, dad. The kids are walking alone to practice. That serves absolutely ZERO purpose if they're going to stand around and sip Powerade and gossip about boys 6" away from each other.

If your kid is old enough to gossip about boys, why does she need to touch the ball with her hands at all?

Yes, it makes you wonder why the same person keeps making racist statements at a youth soccer website.

Ignoring someone is the best way to shut them down. It's definitely not as bad as it was a few months back. Believe me, I was upset with all the racism going on in this site but walking away to another post is better than getting involved (took me a while to figure that out- LOL).
 
So back to the topic. Return to Training. My boy's high school team is having a soccer camp in 2 weeks. Sounds like HS camps are back. Not sure if they will allow scrimmages or 1 v 1's but it's a start.
