Recently at a local gym for my appointment time, like the idea, several high school boys came in and were having close physical contact, patting each other and high "fiveing" etc. The gym has worked really hard to disinfect surfaces between time slots etc., then you see these young men totally disregarding recommendations, sad.
What is your School Doing so far regarding sports?

From some guy I know, who knows a guy, who knows a guy.......
"Unfortunately, this afternoon we were notified by the County that all school athletics and conditioning programs are not permissible at this time. On June 15, 2020, the County of Orange (County) issued a press release indicating that the County would allow the reopening of practices for youth sports under the COVID-19 Industry Guidance: Day Camps. Since that time, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has provided clarified guidance. Specifically, CDPH’s Industry Guidance for Day Camps indicates that recreational team sports were not permitted under the guidance for day camps. Similarly, CDPH’s Guidance for Gyms and Fitness Centers does not apply to recreational team sports. Finally, CDPH’s Interim Guidance for Schools and School Based Programs does not specifically address school-based sports and extracurricular activities, but indicates that further specific guidance would be forthcoming.
Although CDPH has indicated guidance would be forthcoming, to date CDPH has not issued statewide industry guidance for reopening recreational team sports or recreational youth sports activities. On July 6, 2020, the Orange County Department of Education communicated directly with CDPH through an Essential Services Inquiry. CDPH has confirmed that at this time youth sports, including conditioning activities, are not permitted. CDPH again indicated that guidance specific to youth sports would be released in the future."

@Copa9 that's frustrating because these gyms are trying hard to stay open then you have people ignoring pretty simple rules...I get it, they're young and not thinking because it'habit for humans to interact, or they're just idiots or perhaps a mixture of both.
@Eagle33 that seems to be the case with all counties, it looks like school sports and club soccer is a wrap for now. Stay safe people! and if you're worried about your kid's mental health please please get them some help, there are so many ways to help them if you don't want to do traditional therapy. Stay safe soccer family see you all at the beach, bike trails, etc.
So I know some guy whose in higher ed and he said it's so divisive he's going to retire early. I also have a friend whose son is so depressed and lost, that he had to take work off to make sure he and his sister are ok and being watched. DD is 14 and the boys are coming after her. i dont say any of this lightly. His boy is Top QB who got hurt last year and missed out on all the fun with his buds. He worked his ass off all the way back to have a glowing Sr year. Looks like no football, online classes only and all that fun stuff is gone. Me and my buddy both agree that we must obey and teach the kids to trust those in authority, even the ones we disagree with. I also said if we find out some things later as we always do, we will address it the right way. His mom left the family two years ago from cancer.
I will just be blunt with all of you with teens. Keep an eye on your kids somehow. If you have so much money that you can treat this crap like a vacation, keep an eye on your teens anyways, regardless of how great of a parent you think you are. If you are a single parent or both parents have essential jobs, then pray and hope all goes well with your teens. I know so many people who have money forever and they dont know why all the fuss. They never played sports and were given everything from their ancestors. Deep money people act like that know whats best for the teens. We will all find out. We will all see what the fuss is about later, let me tell you guys. Be patients and obey the rules, not just the rules you like. All the rules will be followed.
you hit a lot of subjects all wrapped in one paragraph, and I may be assuming what your intentions are on the above: depression-suicide watch, reverse discrimination, teenage pregnancy, discouraged kids who worked so hard with their sport but now cant play, being a sheep not questioning bad decisions and power grab from your leaders with zero accountability;
did i miss anything?
Parents are not dumb, they will make things as normal as possible without following dumb people leadership....it's already has happened, and will continue shut down or not.
You hit the nail on my head on why I was told by some of my English teachers my writing sucks. Anyway, I feel a lot today.

Yeah the MLS clubs apparently found this same opinion from the state that youth sports drills and practice are not covered under the camp guidance and they need to wait for specific youth sports guidance.
Apparently some cities are now catching up with this, camps still ok but not with sports play or drills so field permits not be issued or terminated if there sports only.
This all coming down to lawsuits and too much risk for all. One of the lawyers on here shared about this earlier. No way these big clubs can survive under these circumstances. This will never end. Time to blow up youth sports as 503b or whatever its called and just go more private, maybe a Dare Devil Soccer League ((DDSL)). Less is so much better anyways. We all can agree way too many parents got a seat at all the PREMIER, ELITE, ACADEMY, WORLD CLASS, PHILOSOPHY leagues and many more. Maybe get the top 64 04s in socal who are dare devils and build 4 private teams in socal? I'm down. Heck, GOAT FC League all ran by private dads who are coaches too? Something needs to give or we will lose in the future.
We were notified in San Bernardino County yesterday of this news as well. Multiple texts and e-mails from the school / coaches "temporarily" suspending all school sport activities / training which were operating under similar "camp" guidelines.
The uncertainty and unknowns has created a roller coaster for the kids who are having a much more difficult time dealing with all of this. Both my girls were devastated and my wife and I feel we're back to square one in making sure they're mentally squared away, we have some work to do and are hoping for a long shot for return to practice / training.
It's hard to try and spin on my dd. She knows whats up and my son is all over the facts on what this is truly about. We got the same email too. Kids were living their lives and the adults stopped it. I know so much Tech that it's best I dont share. I do believe it will get much better after Nov 3rd. If we get shut down for the fall, I will make sure my dd stays in soccer shape. She will never quit trying to play again. Let's get some games and some training together. My dd is super chill and cool. I'm still EJ the nice dad I promise. I did have to go through some big ass challenges in 2017 that caused me to snap a little emotionally. I brought that here and I see I made some mistakes. I know you and your family to be good and work hard as a unit to provide a safe life for your kids.
Re-Reading the SB county notification, I believe they are only mentioning for indoor activities. Outdoor sport activities are fine like outdoor seating for restaurants. Either way, lawsuits i know of have been flying out the window...
Parents can and will pull their kids out of public education and just tell the the state to send them the money so they can teach the kids themselves. I know five familes who told me that's what their doing this fall if no sports or regular school. That's how you can fix this early. Online is not how to learn. The kids are already being brainwashed with social media and their dam iphone that knows everything our kids are doing. So many bad people have access to everything our kids are doing and saying and they have all their pics. Sexting, hello???

My DD is 16yrs old and she has done some neat stuff to stay occupied. She has started her own little garden, so in return my daughter, 11yr old son and I have started to build our own planter boxes from scratch. Teaching them how to measure, cut wood, screw the pieces together, stain and paint and mount them to our retaining wall. We bought her canvases and she’s discovered she actually a pretty good artist. We have been going on family runs around the neighborhood. We remodeled our bathroom together. Next is the kitchen. This is a good time to start projects around the house with the help of your kids. Soccer is not the end all be all. I hope each kid doesn’t think all they are is a soccer player and without they are lost. Soccer is one of many things they do, it’s not who they are. If soccer ended I have no doubt my kids will be fine and find something else constructive to do until this is resolved.
Must be nice to do all that will all the kiddos. Sounds like a fun. Tell that to the single mom who is a nurse and the her oldest boy ((16)) watches her youngest dd ((13). Can she drop off her kids at your place while she goes and tries to save the elderly?

Yes she can. My daughter would be happy to show him what I’ve taught her on my days off from work. My 16yr old watches my 11yr old while my wife and I are both at work. Any other excuses. Wife works 10 hr days 4 days a week and I work 12 hr days 4x per week. Neither of us from home. We took down our cabinets on my off day (everyone has one of those) taught them how to sand it down so they can do it while I’m at work.

The stuff I’m showing them isn’t “A mans job”. My wife and I show them together. A single mom can do it too. Mine did
