Does Newsom’s kid play soccer?

Again, another contradictory move. Not to hard to tell what team they are affiliated with.

Does anyone know how San Juan's practices have been run during the last few months?
For example:
- Is all contact between players prohibited?
- Are all players required to stay a minimum of 6 feet away from each other at all times?
- Are teams required to be break up into maximum 12 person "stable cohorts" for practices, such that teams can't practice together?
- Are scrimmages prohibited?

All youth sports in CA are supposed to adhere to the 8/3 youth sports guidelines, as well as any additional local county rules. Obviously a lot of folks are ignoring these rules, but the bigger clubs absolutely need to be careful. Most of the rule breaking I've seen happens outside of clubs.
I know there's hatred for Newsom, but this is a dead end.

I guess. I see it more like, "maybe we can take a look at San Juan's COVID-related practices and procedures, and use them as a roadmap for the rest of the State." Kids definitely deserve privacy, but clubs don't and the Governor doesn't. The youth sports guidelines need to be updated, and Newsom clearly endorses San Juan's actions by allowing them to continue.
I can't get over the fact that Newsom sat there a couple weeks ago and said he was "hitting pause" on updating youth sports guidelines due to the upcoming surge .. while knowing San Juan would be traveling to ARIZONA during THANKSGIVING WEEKEND a week later. The August 3 guidelines are ridiculously strict. I mean, if he's fine with San Juan disobeying California's mandates regarding 12 person max stable cohorts and 6 foot distancing between players ... why can't all the other clubs follow the same practices?
In short, I think it's legit to ask what San Juan is doing right, and how they are successfully working around the August 3 guidelines.
I think it was the same as other norcal clubs did. zoom, sibling 1v1, then distanced practice with silly games. Some people did illegal scrimmages while the club (sort of) looks the other way. Some people didn’t risk it.
Not too different from socal, except norcal looked to Reno while socal looked to AZ.
If anything I suspect sports were late in part because he knew he’d get yelled at for carving out a soccer exception while other things are closing. Imagine the complaints: “Why am I out of work while Newsom’s kid is out there playing soccer? Look at them, they aren’t 6 feet. Why is his kid’s soccer more important than my paycheck? Newsolini is such a socialist hypocrite.”.

Newsom’s kid has not actively been a part of her San Juan team for many months.
It's actually a max of 14 players per cohort.
I'm curious why you think San Juan has been able to work around the 8/3 guidelines? What have they worked around? If it's about them traveling out of state to play, that's no prohibited by the 8/3 guidelines. That's more of an issue with local county rules and perhaps US Club Soccer membership.
How about make kids mask and let contact in training? I bet most would even take that right now.
San Juan has been doing what most elite clubs have been. Follow the training rules for the most part and travel out of state when possible to play games.
I'll be interested to see what Nor Cal clubs go to surf or pull out assuming they get enough fields to host the event.
Not sure if this is true but I heard their were 2 clubs in Santa Clara County who were slated to attend a ECNL event across the country this past weekend. The county caught wind of it within a week of the event and basically said if you travel we're taking away your business license or non profit status when you return so your club cannot operate. Needless to say neither club went to the event. If true, what a power play that was. Everything I've read about that county in the news, this wouldn't surprise me though.

Yes, that appears to be the details of what happened. We found out on Sunday morning last weekend.
Sorry to hear that. Not a fun situation especially only a few days before departing. Hopefully all Nor Cal teams are allowed to participate in ECNL events in the first half 2021. Those kids have already had enough taken from them on and off the field.
Especially the kids who haven’t even been able to play a game yet.
San Juan is violating the social distancing requirements like his daughter is traveling to AZ with them. Like Obama was born in Kenya. Like @El Clasico built a pedo tunnel between his house and a DC pizza parlor.
You didn’t like that you were wrong about Newsom’s daughter, so now you’re just making up more lies going to distract from the initial b.s. nonsense. Newsom isn’t the SJ club manager and his daughter isn’t even playing right now. Why don’t you focus on what is in your control to stop spread instead of whining about not being able to get more people killed so you can live vicariously through your child.
If true, good for Santa Clara County to stop a power play by the clubs that would have put lives at risk.

Thanks for taking the time to clarify.
