No, but I am doing a lot for you. I want to give all of you plenty of time to prepare for the inevitable. You’re welcome.

Thank You...I did not know who I was exchanging with, and did not know you had that kind of juice. I’ll keep that in mind before replying to you in the future. I hate to admit it but I still don’t know what you are doing for us/we/me...I probably missed it earlier.

Ok...let’s play that out. If ECNL puts together a schedule that requires no travel or overnights than the Vegas Teams will scrimmage within their club or local, the AZ teams will get tired playing themselves week after week, and many of the So Cal Teams won’t play each other. As many have suggested, if you have Eagles, RSC, and Breakers going down for a weekend to play two games in SD, say Rebels and Sharks, or those teams come up, you really think they are gonna do all that time in the car, back and forth over two days or get a room? Good luck with that.

You make strong points, and have convinced me that ECNL should definitely risk people dying because propping up NV and AZ is like totes worth it.

Nothing to do with EOTL being the huge power behind the scenes. Or him being a nice guy. I’ll insult him on that at some other time.

But he is right that, when games come back, it is going to be smaller scale at the start. The overnight hotel stay in Phoenix is hard to justify. The CO to SF plane trip is extremely hard to imagine. Forget Surf Cup or Dallas for a while.

But Del Mar playing Surf at a high school is within reason. So that will happen first. And the people planning these things will have to operate within those constraints.

Risk dying?

Have you actually looked at CDC stats? Go pull it up. Look at deaths by age groups. This is the most recent report on CDC. Yes they are behind.

But pay close attention to deaths by age group.

Here are the latest stats from Cal regarding deaths.

Again look at by age group. Note zero deaths in Cal in the 17 and under age group. Under 50? 7% of deaths.

If you are old...that is the demographic that is at high risk

My family is a willing participant and consumer like most here. My kid Is part of a team and she will play when and where her team does. The expectation that things will be the same as before is not realistic and was never said. The truth (I think except for @EOTL) is that none of us know what is going to happen and are along for the ride waiting to see what develops. My only point was that the League/Gaming Circuit sets the schedule, the clubs/teams commit to the schedule, and if your kid wants to participate you follow, pay, and go play wherever the games are.
 
Our club forwarded an email this week from ECNL. It that states they are still working on a showcase/ Championship in late June in North Carolina. Travel may be sooner than we think.

I’m guessing that is only for high school aged players so they don’t lose out on an opportunity to be scouted by colleges. I’m just curious how many colleges are willing to travel. My guess is they live stream the showcase and they watch virtually

I have a question. If it’s not ok for him to question how other people spend their money, why is it ok for @Desert Hound and @vegasguy to tell me how I need to spend mine?

I never told you how to spend your money. The league is the league. You make the choice on where to spend your soccer dollars. As a matter of fact if you chose the league and read well enough you would that I provide cost saving opportunities that we have used since more that 50% of our annual schedule is travel based. Where you choose to play and with what club is a chose solely yours. You should understand that there is travel in ECNL.

Second saying that the good players should move to where the good soccer is played is an awful argument. Get off your high horse. Good soccer players come from everywhere and that argument sounds.very DA and GDA.
 
By the way the drive from Pasadena takes about the same time as Pasadena to Del Mar.

Why is Socal against team travel?
 
Teams on the coast typically have at least 10 strong opponents within a 2 hour drive. Even more when we remember that a very strong team can play up.

Our idea of local competition is different from yours. It doesn't sound so bad.

Based on current travel policies for most colleges and universities, I wouldn’t think any coaches will be traveling in June and probably not even this summer.

Vegas to Pasadena is a couple hours longer, especially round trip. that's a couple hours saved that we don't have to travel, especially if we add local teams.
