SOCCER POSTS ONLY... Can this be done?

My kid has two games this weekend in Area 51.

Multiple games both days at this location.

Multiple teams from his club and also other clubs. At least four different clubs are participating just based on the schedule.

More games already scheduled for the 19th/20th weekend.

We went to AZ a few weeks back and the upcoming January tournament in Vegas doesn't seem like it's going to happen, so it seems like this is it for the time being.

Two kids out of the entire club of maybe 25 teams have tested positive. No spread in the teams. Those two were siblings that got it from their parents.

Thankfully they are all doing well.

So far so good since early August when training started again.

I heard this was $150 per game. Anyone know for sure?

I agree 100 percent with your statement above , but on the regular , you would never see a CA team go to AZ more than once in a regular season. The influx of competition you guys are getting is great, its making your kids much better than years before , and Im jealous of it really.
Enjoy this time and better yet make some money off the CA parents.
I know parents from San Diego like anything that will make the voices be louder on the sidelines , maybe get some megaphones, they love to scream and coach their kids from the sidelines.

You've completely missed the point. Widen your view a bit. I'm all about playing against CA teams. It's benefitted my players immensely. During the course of a normal season, we are in CA twice a month for league games. Think bigger that loud parents on the sidelines. Hell, you may not even get to be on the sideline. If games are scheduled in Mesa, you may not be allowed inside the complex.

Unfortunately, the optics of CV19 in CA and AZ are bad and they aren't going to go away anytime soon. I try to be pragmatic. If anything, they are getting worse, look inwards and see what's happening in CA. That's what we don't want to happen in AZ just because little johnny and sally want to come play 3 futbol games.

Don't be so flippant with the idea that Surf will bring an economic boom for business in AZ, that's just silly. A few lunches and dinners at chain restaurants are miniscule in scale. Cramming 4 people to a room at an understaffed Marriott the same. The Surf footprint is tiny and the dollars reaped from it are a drop in the bucket compared to what's coming later in JAN and FEB. This one tournament is not a strategy to help the economy. I'm all for playing and having tournaments. I'm not all for playing and having tournaments that could possibly have a negative impact on larger revenue producing events just a month later. Poor business practice. I don't trust our local politicians to think things through.
