Guidance are not for everyone

Remember the AZ teams had to drive out to CA. So the road game excuse is no bueno.
I did that drive a while back for a 4-day trip. Do teams/parents actually drive from CA to AZ (or vice-versa) for one game of kids' soccer? If so, fair play to you; equal parts committed and crazy :D

Fortunately the vast majority of trips are team trips. The club hires a bus company to drive the teams out. Coaches go, and usually each team has a couple of chaperones go.

Now the game EJ references was over Thanksgiving. On that parents were driving.
 
You're right, everybody on this forum has a pretty big ego, including me. And we all think our own kids are the greatest, nothing wrong with that. And with few exceptions, we all caught the soccer addiction/bug at one point or another. And most, especially those with younger kids, NEED A FIX big time. I get that. Shoot, I remember a game being cancelled because of light drizzle when my dd's were in AYSO and I was pissed! I needed MY "fix."
Drove our to temecula in the pouring rain and passed a dead guy laying on the freeway, got to the field and the game was canceled, perspective.
 
With Big Ten out it is getting close to 50%. Once it dips below 50% the NCAA won't hold a championship. At that point everyone will cancel. Watch for Pac 12 to cancel next.
Spot on Simi. PAC 12 just canceled as you predicted. More to follow, that’s inevitable.

None of us want to see youth soccer canceled for the fall but that’s what seems to be happening unfortunately, certainly from an official games perspective anyway.

We will likely continue to see an increase in the types of privately organized scrimmages/games this post first started from. I don’t see teams/parents/coaches settling for just practicing from now until the end of the year.

You are likely spot on for what the immediate future holds for youth soccer in CA.

In the meantime, NJ has gone from an extreme lock down to tournament play inside of 4 months. Their latest endeavor was a college showcase put on by EDP. From what I've read and from reports from people I know there, it went off without any major hiccups.

Hopefully DOCs, local officials, etc take notice, learn something...or not.

AZ league schedules go up Aug 17. Late Aug or early Sept start date.

Tournaments start up end of Aug/early Sept as well.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. If we can get from this point to holding tournaments within months, that will be a result.

And you are right; you would hope we will all watch, listen and learn from what is happening in other states.

What are the GAL, DPL , ECNL and MLS in teams in AZ going to do? 70% of their league is in lockdown? Go to Texas? I think NV and Utah will have some tournaments but with no league play that leaves a ton of open dates. Kids going to sub down to APL just to get playing time?

Things are improving considerably for you in AZ as far as the virus. If the "R" is what they are actually calculating, it will keep getting better.

Any idea what restrictions they will have? I know STX mentioned some of the conditions they enforce for there games and tournaments.
