Don;t blame this on ECNL. My club has no idea either. WHO can plan anything in Cali? I think they were hoping Cali could play ball this fall but it's a no. Maps, Grace and I know the same crew and we have some flies on the wall in big places. No sports you guys until next year or 2022. The fields are not yours to use either. They are controlled and no one will use them unless they feel it's safe for EVERYONE. I told my dd the grim news last night and she wants to stay in Cali and give up sports. I want to force her to move to Texas so she can ball now but it's too hot for her. I want pro for her so bad. Someone needs to go pro in my family. Forget being the first one to attend college, I wanted her to be the first true pro in our family. That dream of mine has set sale and is all gone. Bummer!! She did ask if pro game has any big $$$$ value for the average goat and I said no sweetie. OC Register use to run high schools sports scores up at the top and it's just Corona Stats now. All day, everyday. Corona Corona Corona. I'm so sick of the name btw!!!!

I really hope this is sarcasm, because otherwise this is a sad, sad, sad, sad statement.

With CA up in the air, ECNL is stuck. I see other ECNL regions do have schedules up.
CA has no idea what they are doing. As such that would make it pretty hard for ECNL to put up a SW schedule.
Throwback Thursday
This is me back in the day bro. I played all sports and was determined to go Pro in one of them. I was fast and I could chase the ball down and get to it first. However, I was not that good at finishing. In the team pic you see here, our GK Brubaker was top GK in da league. He went down with a season ending injury mid way and the Wombats were in big trouble. The coach asked anyone if they would be willing to play GK I raised my hand to help out. The fact was, I was really good at GK and I knew it. This was my Brady moment 
It was at these fields I first had a dream of playing with the Cosmos and the great Pele as GK, no joke bro. BTW, we got free Jumbo Jacks all the time.
Definitely doesn't bode well for having any season in CA. The boys side in AZ is doing what it can - ECNL VS MLS friendlies are about to become a welcome reality (this weekend, next, and beyond) and Barca Resident Academy looks to be hosting something over labor day weekend. Maybe a CA team or two can sneak out to participate.
I'm so happy for you Happy. Hound Dog is living the dream as well. One of my pals moved to Chandler years ago and still lives there. Raised all his goats there. I think his boy was a catcher and now he lives in Gilbert. Killer house all paid for too. AZ is looking good lately. Tough folks. All the teams my dd has played in AZ have always brought Ganas. Good job AZ....

Terrific. Let your kid make her own decisions.
The issues in CA are exactly why we are in Texas now. Things worked out in a way that it could happen - home school for the kid and family and business obligations for me. Not ideal, but she is playing...Full practices Tue-Thur and two scrimmages this weekend. Will need to make a decision early next week what we will do, stay and play or send her home and have her wait it out. Bottom line it is her call/decision.
What would make you think I'm living through my dd life anyways? One's perceptions are so misleading, especially when one thinks their right all the time. I'm the opposite of what you think.

That's fair bro and I guess you reading into way too much of my rants and the waves I make. I promise, I'm one big goof and please dont take me too serious. I am the most competitive person I know and I always try and win fair and square. If you win, you win and I shake your hand and I'm the loser for the day. I will come back and try and beat your ass the nest day though. I keep coming back until I ware you down and you say, "I'm out" or, "STFU" or "Just ignore him." It comes with who I am. The point I'm making is dont take me serious.
What is an example of a satire?
Some shows on television are satire examples, such as The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and The Larry Sanders Show. These shows claim to target what they think are stupid political and social viewpoints.
Scrimmage at MG this morning. Your are right...plays really well. Wow!!!...fields are amazing. Had only dropped off and seen from a-far. Parents all social distanced, with masks. No issues, no crowds, parents followed directions, watched from the sidelines at varying distances, no craziness. Everyone entered and exited distanced. They did a great job. Beyond silly we can’t put this together and figure it out in So Cal. It’s very doable.
Nice to hear. I'm happy for your dd and family today. I gave u a few rants in the past, but it was more about making a point and not personal. Soccer for kids is not allowed in socal. Wow, just woza. What a trip were all in these days.

All good, I finally figured out we know a bunch of the same people at Surf ‘04 Top team...long story....thank you. I do not take this stuff personally. Fun time for sure for the little one.
Great, then you really know about me............lol, They all understand I had a mental breakdown and lost all my sh*t. My heart was in the right place. It prepared me for these tough times. Tell them it was really fun and my dd loves all the girls on the team. They won the natty, not me. We had some crazy ass time Woobie. I just told an old pal from that team that I'm sorry for the errors of my ways and for my big fat ego. Let them play!!!!
Curious... What club did your girl end up at?

I spoke with my DD's Director of ECNL and he said that he had several conversations with Cali parents this week. Should be an interesting run up to the start of the ECNL season in Texas. Not sure what roster surprises we'll see at the start of the season. Wish all the girls luck in finding spots!
