What's your best guess as to when trainings will resume?

I just don't see how they can enforce some of these rules. If a kid forgets something in the hallway or back at his classroom he has to go all the way around the building to get it because one way only? They are kids, will be a joke if a kid gets punished for not walking one way.

Soccer is one of the few sports that works out for the covid concern. 11 v 11 on very spread out formations, you only truly come in contact with others when the ball is nearby and the ball only touches your feet not hands, not perfect but better scenario then other sports. Not to mention soccer is played outdoors. Football starts every play with D line and O line in a very compact area. Basketball is a big concern because of the small compact area and multiple teams packed into a indoor basketball court. I think youth soccer will be fine and everyone will most likely be playing in the fall with guidelines for parents and players.

It's going to be a nightmare for teachers, particularly of the youngers. Kids are going to fiddle with their masks. Teachers going to yell at them for taking it off? Send them to the principal? The public schools won't suspend kids for fighting but will suspend them for fidgeting with their masks? What about the autistic, ADHD kids, ones with sensory issues, or severe asthma? Gonna punish the little ones if they decide to hug each other or go the wrong way in the hallway? We going to resurrect hall monitors to make sure everyone is walking the right direction? My kid's teacher unexpectedly announced (private school) she's taking a sabbatical for a year....we were all joking it's because she doesn't want to deal with the nonsense but that probably is the case after all.

The other thing is if your team practices at a school site in LA (or in any county that adopts similar guidelines) you'll likely not be able to practice or have to practice with limitations that drive people away (e.g., masks during practices).

We are training already
Illegally or legally
2005, 2006 and 2009.
All top level.
We should have never stopped.
But it’s a good break for everyone.

Way to be a role model for children. Ethics are important. I guess the 15 year old, 14 year old and 11 year old players weren't motivated enough to stay in shape, keep skills up and practice on their own. Sad commentary on our youth today.

What do you base your "estimate" on? But maybe you are right knowing the population in Temecula.

I teach there. I think that estimate is low.... Not many districts will they entertain a meeting with admin because teacher said something positive about a dem and negative about a rep in a gov class..

Yeah might as well one of these counties will get something through eventually but that's just the first step. Facilities still need to be opened, permits issues, insurance, sanctioning by...going to take some time so yeah July

Having kids wear masks while working out and practicing is horrible. I personally will not force my DD to do this, we have way more data now and understand the virus better than 3 months ago. We as parents just need to take precautions after practice for the kids. I think Surf cup will be the grand reopening of youth soccer in socal and things will get back to normal for the players after that. Feel free to make stricter guidelines for the parents but let the kids play. We can handle and obey them, they just want to get back to doing something they really enjoy.

Makes no sense. Most of these CRL teams missed out on Vegas Showcase etc...and will be looking forward to Surf Cup for sure.

$$$ Cutthroat time $$$. Pirate code

For olders adequate prep, training, team, scrimmage, etc time is really needed before jumping back into full tournament play.

The return to play process really needs to get going and have clear timelines before some are willing to spend new money on somewhat of a gamble consider the tight schedule and unknowns

I don’t think many out of area teams are travelling for Surf this year.

surf is probably a local tournament this time, if anything.

On the other hand, if you are out of area, your own local tournament probably looks a little stronger.

Makes sense. The other important question is how many college coaches and from what regions of the country will attend.

Agreed in a sense, you wont get Texas or Washington but Nevada and Arizona are probably still in because it is driving distance.

I just don’t see any tournaments this summer. If kids are playing games at all by August it will be local and 1 game at a time with limited number of people involved.
 
16 weeks out is August. We have no vaccine... At an 1% to .5 % mortality rate (CDC is lowering their estimate due to political pressure..eg Italy data) ... I don’t see anything happening this year... Currently no medical professional is going to sign their name for kids to go back to play... Adults are one thing... children under 18 are another.
 
"I saw the first soccer camp going on advertised on the soccer boards for Temecula. Large crowd of kids, no distancing. I'm pretty much in the "we are overreacting" camp but doubt I'd let me kid attend that..."

I wouldn't hesitate to send my kid to a camp as long as it was a camp my kid was interested in attending.
