It looks like league play will be based on your county. Who do you think will come out on top in each area? Will the ECNL and GA teams participate? Will they combine NPL to one tier instead of 3?

Return to play tournament but not league?

Clubs & team in the NPL yes but if a county is permitted won't the ECNL team play in that league instead?

At least it's something, more than what Cal South has put out so far.

I'll take any games, I could give a rats ass about the league they are playing in at this point. LOL

Any games are better than nothing. Hell I'll take scrimmages right now!

How many NorCal counties have multiple ECNL or GA teams?

The top levels for older kids will need to do multiple years and work with neighboring counties.

Santa Clara has the most with 2 ECNL and 3 GA I believe. Next would be Contra Costa with 1 ECNL and one GA.

My sources are saying Newsom will be announcing an update to youth sports guidelines in the next 48 hours.

I gotta hand it to our coach. He has had us scrimmaging a lot. I know he took a pay cut and has worked hard to make this happen

Agreed. My DD's club has done an incredible job. We've trained and scrimmaged nearly the entire year. The girls have also organized their own boys vs girls scrimmages. It is priceless to see the smiles on their faces after those sessions.

 

[Jessiesgirl]

My DD’s club has had no scrimmages. They did do one tournament in AZ. I do feel her club is doing the best job they can-but I guess they are being as careful as they can so they do not get in trouble and get sanctioned or lose field permits.

Football and other high-contact, outdoor sports got the green light to begin competition in many parts of California, culminating a long-fought battle for return-to-play advocates.

Santa Clara county I will not lift anything is my guess!

Santa Clara county I will not lift anything is my guess!

There are several NorCal counties that don’t meet the threshold yet but at least they are giving us something.

 

[Jessiesgirl]

And NorCal posted this. I’m not sure if it just not complete or what they are trying to tell us about u16-18

I think Santa Clara is at 14.8 cases per 100K. Very close, but I will be surprised if they lift given past decisions.

San Francisco, Alameda and San Mateo counties have numbers under the threshold. I hope counties don’t try to restrict it. How are parents feeling? Half of my team have not been showing up to practices. It went from masked distanced training to unmasked full play. Will parents who have been holding their kids at home suddenly come out to play?

 

[jessepinkman]

I cannot speak for all parents, but my 06 daughter has been playing unmasked throughout COVID. By playing I mean training and scrimmaging, but no travel or real games. I am honestly not concerned as long as it is outdoors and people respect the basic COVID guidelines of masking and keeping distance.

You mean, what works in all the other states also works in CA? Who knew?

Same here except masked. But I am curious about the players who have not been attending. I have to assume they will continue to stay away.

There is this gem in the CDPH guidance. No testing required

• For sport participants 13 years of age or above as evidence shows that younger children do not seem to be major sources of transmission—either to each other or to adults.

What does that say about schools?
