Just stay home with your kid. We will be playing. Simple.

Exactly. Plus, if you had or have asthma, Liver issues, breathing issues, heart issue or a weak immune system, you probably need to stay home until the coast is 90% clear. For young kids, they have nothing to worry about soon. We need to get the show on the road or other problems will come. Gee weez, let's think positive.

What is the hold up on the breaking news? Maybe one side told the other side they have until April 15th to come back to the Family or they can start something up in SoCal? I'm a little bit shocked leaks are out but no news?????

I think it's more on the boys side and what exactly is the re-structure. Girls side should be done so that's easier of course. Boys re-structure will involve MLS and 2nd div DA could be USL clubs for example.

Thanks for starting this thread. It's been thoroughly entertaining and a nice break from all the virus talk 24/7. Just curious, as its now Monday and you first posted this on Thursday, how were you so quick with your info? It has been spot on by the way.

This makes zero sense unless the players are also wearing masks and playing 6 ft apart.

If social distancing is still in place, then there will be no games - they are incompatible.

This whole thread is a wild conjecture and nobody really knows what's going to happen so basically a ton of dreams and speculation.

With stay at home until May 15 at least and colleges already considering a fall pushback I seriously doubt facilities are suddenly going to open June 1st for gatherings. A soccer team and parents just for one team is too many people to risk that soon unless somebody has quick tests, a proven vaccine, or treatment that suddenly appears and gets approved in the next 60 days. ECNL or whatever league anybody wants to dream about are in the same boat.

I want nothing better to see the kids training and playing again but don't see that happening anytime within the 2-3 months at the earliest.

I like that. June 13th or July 13th or July 4th??? It's time to just go play and take our chances. If i sit in my house I won;t get killed but whats the point on being on this planet? Trump will tell us to go work and it will be rolled out slowly. Mask life, get used to it. Gavin might want parts of Cali to stay home longer. Cal South will want the kids out playing. Let the kids go play under safe conditions. There not at that much risk folks.

His post was after Glen Crooks’ tweet.
Does anyone have any source of information that is directly from US Soccer and did not originally come from this tweet?
The tweet refers to rumblings - that means the tweeter does not have first hand information. Coaches were talking a couple days before the tweet, so where did that talk come from?
Where’s the first hand information?

If you know anyone with the USSF, they will tell you, or neither deny or confirm it :)

Well here is what has to happen now. These rumors are ALL over the country. Soccerwire had an opinion piece, the various forums are talking about it, and clubs are emailing their players/parents trying to reassure them.

So since bad news is flowing out there, US Soccer has to respond now. So if they are continuing on, it is easy to put out a release saying the rumors are completely false. Right?

Wednesday should be the day information is out from US Soccer according to many. If none of this is a true, biggest wrong rumor spread in youth soccer history across the country!

It's all rumblings. What else is new. The difference for me is my key sources have that look like, "It's over dude."

This is what has bothered me. Not once has this dude (Crooks) backed up his claim or responded to the multiple tweets. DM's or such asking for clarification. It's like he dropped this then created a firestorm and doesn't want to touch it anymore. Not only that, the Soccer wire writer of the opinion piece has walked back his claims and clarified its just his opinion. Chris Hummer even updated his article to reflect it then posted this tweet.: Sounding less likely entire DA is being shut down, but if it's even in the cards, now would be the best time to do it...

That can't or won't do that because there simply too many unknowns.

With MLS cutting back expensive, airlines going broke, clubs without income there is no model of any youth travel leagues to exist at the moment.

ECNL is in no better position than DA or xyz league, it's all speculation. Until you can eat in a restaurant or just go to the park nothing is going to be happen with youth soccer.

Schools will not be giving out permits to train until the health risks are contained.

Let’s be honest with Data: in California someone has a better chance of passing away driving to the soccer fields. Or crossing the street.

No, not fair and not fun. I say just for the olders, say 9th grade and up and start learning about home and away games and travel. ECNL is prepping your dd for college, not just local games. Again, I'm talking about big time club soccer where all the top top players are playing.

Rubbish. There is no reason SoCal families should prop up clubs in weaker regions. If a region can’t support its own high level league, they should go where it exists if they want it that badly. GDA was doomed to fail in part for this reason. USSF tried to make the parents of clubs in strong soccer regions spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in unnecessary travel to subsidize the development of kids in weak regions.

The US is a big place whether you like it or not, and not everyone gets to be a great soccer player, especially if they live in areas where the weather and lack of population don’t cooperate. If you want to live in Salt Lake City, be a skier. If you want to live in Minnesota, be a hockey player. If you live in LV or Phoenix, do whatever it is kids do when it’s 115 degrees outside. If you live in SoCal, spend the $6 in gas money to play the other excellent teams just down the road, and use the 6 hours you would have spent traveling to Phoenix for league games getting better at soccer, taking piano lessons, or doing something else more productive than watching the cactus go by from the back of the car.
