Oh, I'll have to look into this for my kids... thanks!
I don't see Surf Cup happening, but what the hell do I know...
Desert Super Cup is still happening this weekend correct? Isn't Phoenix in Maricopa County or no? I have zero knowledge of AZ counties, so I apologize. @happy9 @Desert Hound
I lot of athletes use it to speed up healing. My friends son was lineman in high school football and he would just buy like a 10 pack of treatments for him to use during the season. My kid did several treatments for recent pulled hamstring and was back full practice in 3 weeks. Original medical estimate was off for 4 to 8 weeks for grade 2 hamstring injury. Its painless and treatment only takes maybe 15 minutes.
Uh, is that supposed to be soccer related Ewok? Cmon man join the discussion properly. My Kids got 4 nice games this weekend. I can send you a link to see video of some really nice quality soccer from your isolation bubble. Wouldn't that be nice for you? The fields are right next to the Colorado river also, great venue and perfect 70 degrees.
Let them kids play...

There are definitely days where a practice is more standing than even a coach would like, especially if it is a new drill or new players trying to assimilate. I think our team does a decent job of warming up, but could probably be better and definitely after practice is lacking! Roster size can also affect the standing in practice as smaller size less standing 
. I still don't know what size I like for rosters 15 for local games and 18-20 for travel games. Our team has done some pool cool downs in the past after games -- girls don't seem to like it, but we haven't had any soccer related injuries either.
At some point the athlete has to take it onto themselves to be prepared and do appropriate stretches before and after a practice and not care about rushing home or late to practice. The in between practices regiments are also helpful -- do some cross training.
Up until this year (Junior) the oldest has played at least 1 non soccer sport for her school. The youngest (Freshman) still plays multiple sports, both non school related at this point, but once things go back will probably continue that way as she likes too many to give them up I think the 1 sport athletes definitely have to be more vigilant on proper body care than multiple sport athletes

Thanks again, we typically do what I mentioned before plus sometimes cupping, scraping, etc. when injured (and rest) but it sounds like I should def add this to our arsenal.. Glad your kid is better!

At my kids school, the assistant coach of her varsity team did thorough warm up and cool downs at practice and during games in the season. The result was not one injury that caused a player to miss a game. It was impressive how well he kept the team physically fit and ready to play.

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.
Bigot!

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.
Absolutely right. Youth sports now has a target on its back.

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".

This report describes COVID-19 cases identified in Minnesota residents after a 10-day motorcycle rally in South Dakota.
This is why I think Surf should cancel... and everyone focus on trying to get scrimmages which can lead to league games. But hey what do I know
Safe Travels to everyone going to AZ for Tournaments! Best of luck, enjoy yourselves and please be smart so we can still play!
Keep us posted on any tight games!
