Concerns raised over Arizona youth sports tournaments as COVID-19 cases rise

One of the state's largest youth soccer tournaments, the Desert Super Cup, is about to kick-off with more than 200 teams, many from out of state.

Desert Cup is definitely happening this weekend.

I wouldn't be surprised if Surf gets cancelled due to a "pause" in activities. I hope the supervisors get their way and we go into a "pause" after the thanksgiving weekend. Not often that I support self serving bureaucrats.

Honestly, not that big of a deal for AZ soccer. In many ways it's better if Surf is cancelled. Kids can have their new year's eve weekend back. Maybe, just maybe, AZ clubs are secretly hoping that Surf is cancelled and they go through the natural break in play without the hysterics and drama that Surf would instigate. AZ high school soccer and basketball can occur without having the stigma of a big, bad california soccer tournament hanging over their head. In FEB, the AZ clubs can have their big tournaments, which is better for their financials.

Surf is more important to CA than it is to AZ.

Even made WAPO

I sure hope it goes well and there are no outbreaks. My biggest concern is that if it goes poorly it will be used as an excuse to delay youths sports even further in CA, if it goes well it likely will just be ignored.

thats been my concern since this tournament hit the main stream news. its happening at a terrible time of the year during peak travel. lots can go wrong away from the field to have california sports shut down till 2022. now all eyes are on AZ and contact tracing from this event in 2 weeks time over ONE soccer tournament.

I'm no public health expert and I certainly didn't attend the Sturgis rally this year. You can read the CDC case in intimate detail or you can read the cbs article. Below is an excerpt from the CBS Article. I don't know the projected attendance count for Desert Super Cup. What I do not know is that Phoenix will not be Sturgis. The event will mandate masking, parents will be masked, kids will be masked - there is some sort of mask mandate that covers the entire state of Arizona. There is risk in life. Choice is a wonderful thing. The positivity rate in AZ is trending up, the fatality rate is trending down.

You can come to your own conclusions - and please don't tell me to wait two weeks. I think it's OK to play soccer this weekend. Drive safely. Spend money for AZ lodging, spend money for AZ food, spend money for AZ gas. Arizona businesses are doing all they can to make it safe and easy for visitors. We appreciate the business.



"When nearly a half-million motorcycle enthusiasts gathered in South Dakota this summer, health experts worried the gathering would ignite new outbreaks of coronavirus cases. It did, according to a new report that looked at cases in neighboring Minnesota.


About one-third of counties ended up having at least one coronavirus case that was tied to August's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, investigators reported in a study mainly conducted by Minnesota health officials and published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Minnesota officials counted 86 cases that they said were related to the rally - 51 people who went to Sturgis and 35 who came into contact with those people later. Most did not suffer serious illnesses, but four were hospitalized and one died".

You don't really have any illusions of organized club soccer games being allowed to start up in CA before March 2020 at the earliest, do you? For CA soccer, it doesn't matter what happens at Desert Cup. If we are waiting until 1/100,000 (Yellow), or even 4/100,000 (Orange), Desert Cup will be long forgotten. As a state, we are at 31.7/100,000 and rising. We are just going to have to continue to take advantage of the COVID safe alternatives in our state such as skateboarding, surfing, and strip clubs.

Those requirements are almost unachievable, unless everything is shut down and no one goes anywhere except to get basic life essentials. Kinda cray cray.

hopefully the media does something useful and leaks the youth sports guidance that never came out for the state so we can all stop guessing

I can imagine Feb for some of the north. Alameda and SF were solidly into orange/yellow a month ago. Not so impossible for them.

Of course, Fauci is very well respected in SF, and has been since the 80s. Compliance is a little easier there.

Surf has been messing with people's emotions for months now. They'll keep their cards close to their chest and make a decision at the last possible moment. Their fate is in the hands of the City of Phoenix. Without access to Reach 11 there is no chance for a tournament. There is a meeting scheduled on 2 DEC - I'm sure field access will be at the top of the list. If Reach and others are shut down, hasta la vista Surf.

You're 100% correct on all accounts. We're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Mini ramp just went up in the backyard last weekend.

One tournament is insignificant to the overall damage the dictator's are doing to our youth preventing school and sports along with destroying people's lives by shutting down business. 3.5% of the US population got the China virus. 99.6% survival rate. I want my kid to play soccer but I'd much rather have her in school and I'd much rather see people able to work and operate their businesses so the can provide for themselves and their family. There will be other soccer tournaments I'd surf gets canceled I'm not worried about that one bit.
