Here’s the problem, politics never used to be in sports but now it has in professional, collegiate and now youth sports, pathetic. Using kids as pawns for their power.Let's not argue but let's create another thread to argue, well done op!
Some youth sports and soccer have been tagged as medium risk in California.
That classification I don't necessarily agree with, low risk would be more appropriate. Let's work with everyone to prove youth soccer is low risk and get things open back up and soccer reclassified. Do your part, follow through, going rouge doesn't help the cause.
California is where it is partly because people & politicians don't work together better or care enough about making positive change, would rather argue or get on social media to rant about some narrow points of view. Change the narrative, find solutions not problems, debate is fine, vote and interact with the political process to make the changes you think are needed.
Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

Well they are providing shade structures between the fields for the refs and there is water and a fair amount of food trucks. That being said its damn hot. Not so much the temp but it is a bit humid for here. Kids had one water break per half. My DD played all game and is a bit dehydrated but felt better once she got in the air conditioned truck. 3-0 win nice way to start the year even for a scrimage.
This right here.

From the outside looking in (I don't live there, but close friends and family do, and we are there all the time), CA adults in positions of power are just not getting it done. It's unfortunate ; the struggle/desire to assign and prove blame overwhelms problem solving.
Now I'll wait for JustaFan to call me a body part and tell me to grow some pelotas because I won't say the name of the person who will not be named. I could care less about who to blame, it's irrelevant right now.
Yep...big SM fan. Like him a lot.

MVLA is a great choice, regardless of where you live...
@Ellejustus no doubt the Blues are always strong
@mlx haha well, I guess we know how you feel about them... lmao! The Newport Slammers are always strong, I can't keep up with all the CDA teams but some are great some not so much (just like every other club)
I think SD Surf has to be in the running for top club (no my kids don't play there). But unlike EJ, I'm not basing that on wins I'm talking about how I see the kids play, coaches, etc. But everyone has their criteria on what makes a top club in their eyes...so I guess it's all relative.
P.S. nice job today Bayern...
Bayern indeed! Always fun to watch.
While not universally loved, Surf is definitely a well run organization (not perfect, who is). Their kids seem to be well coach, consistent in play across the board. And they know how to run the business end of things, literally having their brand coast to coast - just look at NJ Surf Soccer, formerly Match Fit, now re-branded. Hopefully their business model is resilient enough to weather the storm.

Marxist? So now people who quote facts and figures are Marxists? I think you're trying to call me a socialist, is that it? DId you take $ from the government in the last 6 months? If so , you're a socialist. I work at a company that makes billions of $ a year, that makes me a capitalist. Socialism has some positives, you would know none of them because you're just cutting and pasting from what you hear or read on FOX news or other sites quoting conspiracy theories and you have no idea what any of it means.
As far as soccer goes, you may see games here and there but no large league is gonna get a waiver to play soccer right now. Did I rain on your parade? Who is more sad, you or your kid because you have nothing to do? Get a hobby, get a job, find something to do. Soccer will be back next year.
I just trying to be honest and i was talking about winning lately at the olders. Best style and with 11 Nattys, I go 100% possession with Surf. My dd loved the style and picked it because it looked fun and the right way to ball. I loved it too. It also saved her from serious injury. Coach from Surf took her from Striker ((score goals)) and put her out left wing ((the 11)) on the 4 4 2. He said he would thank me later and I by gosh, I one 100% say, "thank you coach" My dd was a crazy goat or some say, "a one trick pony" at da blues. I accept that too and I dont take it personal at all. The best thing that ever happen to my goat was getting out of hard core and cut throat to possession like Barca. My dd perfers that style. However, she will do whatever it takes to win the game. One trick pony was when she would get up top and time the off sides and then beat the big slow defender to the ball and then, "goaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
P.S. There is no slow big defender at the highest of levels. There just big and fast and super skilled so good luck scoring like that. That game is boring and super dangerous. I love MLVA style as well.

I got family in AZ that' can't go outside because the idiots in government don't think it's real. THere were 1,000 new cases yesterday. The butt fucks who go there and bring it back can give a shit about anyone else but themselves, unless they plan to quarantine for 7 days and not pass it on to anyone else. This isn't CNN reporting this, this is fucking reality. We will never get back to playing soccer until fucking idiots stop finding ways to expose more people.

I'm talking about people just like you that go to a place where the virus was bad, and still bad, even though cases are down, and bring it back to a populated area just because you can, because you don't care, because you don't think it's real, because it doesn't affect you because you live in aneighborhood where everyone else is fine.
Good luck to your daughter and her team and playing ECNL, we've had a good experience playing ECNL! Stay safe out there! keep us posted on how the first game back goes...
I'm telling on you. @Dominic , this is awful. My dd reads this stuff. Yikes!!!
"I could care less about who to blame, it's irrelevant right now."
Preceded by, "CA adults in positions of power are just not getting it done. It's unfortunate." Blame, blame, blame!
Your very own words.
Did you not see my previous post? Still can't do it ha? How about taking that 1st step brother, or is it too big for you??
Why do you see breaking the offside trap as dangerous? I always thought it was about communication and timing.
When you play kick ball at 7x7 it's a timing thing for sure and all the others players look to knock the baby goat down on her face. Nothing wrong with that. Plus, some kickball teams when they get older, will skip the CM all together and go over the top 75% of the time. Boring IMO. Like shooting threes all day like the Warriors. Video game hoops. No defense at all.....When your GK is taught not to punt it but to play from the back, now your talking chess and moves and runs and this and that. My DD IQ is very good so when she plays with a team that all the players are presumed to be better then her some day, I think she will really shine and hold her own. Dont be a one trick pony in soccer is so true.

Thanks and will do. From what I see in the schedule, she'll only be playing one game per weekend until the second week of October. Think the powers to be wanted to reduce the possibility of hotel/overnight stays which is fine.
MVLA 04 Defender just. committed to Northwestern. Maybe more will start committing for that team.
I don't think it's a bad thing that you feel that way, I'm just saying everyone has their own idea of what a top team is. Winning is obviously a piece of that. Glad your daughter learned possession at Surf, it's a fantastic way to play. I have to say, there shouldn't be any slow defenders at high levels, but unfortunately there are. I will say, both of my kids have had a few slow defenders and although they weren't fast they knew how to read the game, use their body and were/are great defenders. Obviously, speed is preferred but I've also experienced super fast defenders with very little skill which is no bueno either. Anyhow, sounds like you and your daughter found the right fit at your current club and that's all that matters now, plus she's played with two of the best clubs so she's good to go.
Let's tell the rest of the story - 996 cases yesterday - yep, but, - every single other metric going down and trending down since middle of JUL. Your family in AZ has made a choice to not go outside. Which is great, since we have choices and live in America.
AZ is trending in the right direction, 200 cases reported today. Yes, it's the weekend and likely not as accurate, but still trending downward. The big difference between AZ and CA is that politics are suffocating CA. Politics are certainly part of the calculus in AZ, but not as big of a factor. CA is just a bigger, much more complex animal than AZ. We certainly took a stumble during memorial day weekend and paid the price. We will see how long the state can keep some businesses from operating before we see more open revolt from those type businesses.
And, soccer was in full swing yesterday (and going on today) , with friendlies, state sanctioned scrimmages, and state league play in games. From all reports, parents played nice, teams moved on and off the field with relative efficiency, and there weren't any unusual heat related injuries beyond what we normally experience in the extreme heat.
Looking forward to next week's games. I hear rumors that a cali team or two may be coming to town, just can't confirm or deny.
