What he said.Phoenix and Scottsdale are using SCIENCE.
The science says lots of kids can practice and do scrimmages. At the same time the science tells the 2 cities that games (unlike scrimmages) are not allowed.
So for next weekend (tournament Rising Cup), the club running the tournament has moved from Reach 11 and SSC to Fear Farm (private fields) and Salt River Fields (reservation land...right next to the spring training facilities the tribe built).
So practice and scrimmage on city owned fields OK. Games not yet. Science.
Maricopa just south of Phx has their fields open and last weekend they were used by the AZ Soccer Assoc to host play in games for the few remaining spots in the various levels of their leagues.
The city of Gilbert is also apparently letting game play this weekend at one of their new facilities (Desert Sky Park?).
