Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

And this right here, is exactly the fear that will keep us locked down until next Summer. It’s not the numbers, the science, the FACTS, it is the fear.

Blame, blame, blame - victim, victim, victim - excuses, excuses, excuses.

Here's the reason you'll lose every time. You're so pissed that you want to blame somebody, but until you acknowledge who has the primary blame in all of this, you will continue to lose. It's like the 1st step in a 12 step program, "let go, surrender, accept." We don't have to wait until the election. This could have and should have been handled long ago, not to mention well before the election.

Is there secondary blame, sure, but none of you have had the courage to call out the primary blame. Let me give you a little taste. California should never have shut down the beaches and this was a mistake imo. California should have done its own deal to buy the testing necessary for our schools and kids. We should have started this awhile ago so our kids could go back to school. We should have looked at other safety measures or invented our own like the sanitizing dispensing fans in Arizona schools. These are all mistakes by California imo.

And based on the exposure x time x ventilation/circulation formula, I believe it is safe four our kids to play soccer. So this is another mistake I think California is making. Is California playing it super safe, yes, no doubt about it. And sometimes its the right call and sometimes it may not be. But that is California's MO. And different states have different Mo's and that's fine.

To be honest, that's why we need each other. It's like flight or fight. When fight is the correct response, the fighter will look to the "flighter" and call him a pussy. When flight is the correct response, the flighter will look to the fighter (who got his ass kicked) and say what a dumbass.
 
LOL, man, we're never getting over this pandemic with people thinking like you. AZ was the hotspot for Covid just a month ago. Are you going to quarantine yourself and your kid for 7 days or just spread it because you can? Why live in California, just go move there? There will not be organized sports in CA until there's a vaccine, the population density is among the highest in the nation, at least in SOCAL and no large organization will be able to get away with even one death that someone ties to their municipality. You shouldn't have been allowed back across the state line without a Covid test and an IQ test.

People thinking like me? You mean people like you not comprehending what they read? I never said I don't, or didn't, wear a mask. I described what other people are doing in Arizona.

There's nothing more dangerous than idiots like you thinking you're intelligent.
 
:D 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.
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.
 
Could be. The Refs are on the fields for hours where kids are an hour and out. This will be taxing on the refs. I believe they are providing water/hydration stations and shade for the refs but I don't know. Our game is this morning so Ill know more then. My daughter refs but only at the younger ages, 03s can cover some ground so i bet those refs were running hard. Its possible the refs aren't game fit either. This is the first big event of the season.
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.
 
I'll go with MVLA, but I have a norcal bias.

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.
 
This dude sounds like a Marxist sick person; go get help. Covid has made people mentally deranged, another prime example.
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.
 
This proves my point exactly. You have no fucken idea what is going on in Arizona before you open your big mouth. All you know is what CNN told you.

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.
 
I sense the frustration on this forum and read through differing opinions on the state of play in California. Quick background, my DD played in SoCal for 5 years before we moved our family to Texas. We have many friends whose DDs play for various DA/ECNL squads, so I have personal knowledge about the situation on the ground in Southern California. For the past two years my DD has played at the DA level and now venturing into ECNL which begins next week in Texas. In listening to the frustrations from various members on this board I wanted to see how bad it truly is in California as compared to Texas. I was surprised to see that California has less cases and deaths per million than Texas. Yes, California has slightly higher overall case numbers but even that is negligible. My DD has been attending EPT training twice a week, team practices 4 times a week, participated in two tournaments, various weekend scrimmages, daily practices with the varsity squad at her High School and has chosen to do in-person learning. That’s not to mention that other sports like summer softball, baseball, volleyball and football have all been playing in tournaments or are ramping up for the season to come. I’m not sure what type of threshold California is looking for to give the green light to sports, but here in Texas with all that activity my DD and her teammates have gone through, there has been minimal cases or transmissions since June. Stay safe everyone.

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.
