Who's on the CalSouth Naughty List?

W
Since Cal South does not provide liability coverage, I'll ask again, what is their purpose? Can we just not have them, and eliminate the bureaucracy and additional costs? They have been behind the eight ball in leading Soccer out of this with the State. 7 months and counting something has to give.....
exactly what are they good for ??
 
Blues coaches were so strict that when they had their camps, I got in trouble for walking around the field in Great Park with a mask. With no one near me for 50 yards. They had a very strict no spectator rule. I had to go walk on the other side of the park where I couldn’t be seen and was watching the camp with binoculars

but their ECNL teams have been playing with full contact for months so not that strict.....
 
- Bottom line is this, with the new Governor guidelines, we wont be back to green status anytime soon.
This to me means the following in terms of club soccer:
- No tournament soccer until next summer (if not later)
- The governor doesnt care about youth sports.
- No club soccer until we get to Yellow (if we can even get to that stage because it's extremely difficult).

Outside of us youth sports parents, nobody cares about getting kids back to the fields.

Enjoy your year off friends, time to start new hobbies and hope to see youth soccer in the fall of 2021.

bottom line is this.....Youth sports are happening right now whether it's allowed or not. Some following rules but more and more do not.
Just drive by local fields and see for yourself.
Little league is ON
Football is ON (HS and youth)
Soccer is ON (all levels)
Volleyball is ON
Gyms are OPEN
 
Yes sports are happening at all levels, and everyone is doing whatever they want, blues coaches And from most of other clubs are offering private scrimmages sometimes using other people like their team parent to disguise that is not them and they don’t get in trouble. With that said when is under the blues I go for walks at the great park and one of their coaches even had ruled to measure the 6 ft, when they are on their own they offer a service and is up to the parent to pay a fee for scrimmages and take their kid. They are hustling trying to make an extra buck is up to the parent. There are other clubs that start with letter S that as a club with no extra charge do scrimmages also. It is a mess

Who cares how much training or the number of scrimmages Slammers and blues are doing! They have nobody to play against on a formal meaningful game. There will be no tournaments and no league until next year (Spring/Summer).

They can play all they want and eventually will get caught. You can also do what others are doing, they are calling the police to go stop teams from scrimmaging or doing no covid practices. My nephew's baseball team (u12) had to be escorted by the police because they were practicing on a public field in La Mirada. Talk about wasting tax payer dollars!

Not true. My kid plays Blues ECNL. I know several of the coaches. Blues are not playing full contact scrimmages. They can't even do contact in training. If a Blues coach is doing it call them out. Otherwise stop with the rumor mongering. A parent or players leading scrimmages on their own is not Blues training. All Blues ECNL teams train at OC Great Park. No scrimmages or contact are allowed there.

Separate a coach who is an independent contractor training private lessons from organized Blues ECNL training. Coaches can do private training on their own free will and their own insurance.

Don't you ever get tired of carry the water for the Blues? You have your head so far up their ass, you better hope they never stop walking.
 
For blues not under the club but the coach that I have knowledge of only asks the parents that are ok with the whole corona thing you don’t have to go if you don’t want to. But just go to The Indoor place where they practice and you’ll find plenty of info and their teams having contact and full games Since June. Not at the great park but they do have scrimmages. Same for slammers in south OC everyone has contact in scrimmages. If you as a parent don’t want to go they can’t make you. but don’t come back with the rona and have the club or cal south be liable. My wife said No to Utah and Arizona we don’t think our 9 year old is going to become the next Messi if we go.

Yes, some blues teams are doing full contact scrimmages with their coach and no it's not private training with their own insurance. You are either defending them knowing they are which makes you a liar, or defending them without knowing which makes you ignorant, which is it?
Again I could care less about what they're doing, I wish my daughters team were doing more than they are but as a wise man once told me, you're defending the indefensible.

I'm confident that Time's "Person of the Year" is going to be the Nosey Neighbor. There are a few that should be nominated from this forum.
 
Does anybody really thing CalSouth has any power in this situation? The state and county governments will determine when youth sports can resume play. Take up your complaints with them. What a bunch of whiners.
While I agree CalSouth could do a better job of communicating and reinforcing this. No communication is frustrating for ppl
 
Well there’s a Blues team that does full on scrimmages at a park in south OC just behind my house don’t think they need a permit, to be fair there’s adult pick ups at the same place. the scrimmage Is posted all over Instagram. There’s a slammers that did full on scrimmages at a school when nobody can enter schools in OC. When pandemic was very high in OC there was a pats team training at a school also. The Blues said these events will not be covered by them, but it will be a shame if something happens and their club gets affected.
yes and can vouch for this is South OC I have seen it as well. Daughter came back another time from being on her teams zoom training that she was doing at the park and there they were. She's a 17 yo interested in law and boy was she ticked off that she was zooming and they were playing
 
Nope. No Blues coaches are suspended. Blues operate by the book from leadership. As a grown adult your jealousy is a little embarrassing to witness. It was Slammers who circumvented the governor's orders by calling team training "camp" after the last shut down. It was West Coast who moved training to Oceanside to run practices to circumvent the gov. Blues shut down training and followed the gov's orders. But keep on with the lies and dishonesty if it suits your agenda.
No, they all did not! Not all of them. Even saw two former WC players wearing their old jerseys, they are now with Blues, during a practice. :) Who were they kidding, know the players well.

Were all in for a treat this season coming up in the SW ECNL. Blues is the team to beat from what I'm hearing. Nothing changes I guess and sometimes you have to switch to another motivation. David ((any other team in SW)) vs Goliath ((SC Blues 04)). Nothing to lose in this game. My DD and her teammates have one pebble and a sling shot to knock them out. It's next to impossible but anything is possible in soccer. 1-0 and keep them from scoring. If you lose 0-7, oh well, they got the best team. They picked up some really great players. With that being said, another player from WC get's to play now and start and prove that she belongs as GK or whatever position. Blues is my new #1 team in the country.

In the grand plan of things, it doesn't matter. What matters is family, health, character and what you do with the education you earn. So many youth players go on to be recruited to play in college, some are in over their heads academically, a lot quit soccer after a year or two, party too much in college and don't achieve much. Enjoy whatever youth soccer club you belong to, it all ends very quickly.

Or some jump to da Pros. 2021-2022 is the year of the female. Time to let kids choose other paths besides Big U. Dont get me wrong, I love Big U and I know Big U will be back better then ever. I'm super stoked on the future of Socal soccer. I also think choice is key here and options in one's life. Is it possible for a girl to go to college, study, party and play ball?

Education should be part of the equation if they skip college to go pro. We need to encourage our kids to take on a technical career or some other type of education even if they skip college. A soccer player is just an injury away to end their career before it starts. What’s the point of going pro if they don’t have a degree once they finish their career.

How many US women soccer players make more money than the average computer programmer?

I am all for supporting the sport, but be realistic. For any birth year, perhaps 4000 girls play elite level soccer. Of those, maybe 2 will ever make more than chump change in the pros.
