I think this is accurate. The scores for their latest matches in AZ were too one sided in favor of AZ GA teams. Close games last year, this year they were not close, losing both games by a wide margin. During the last DA (2020) season, Legends split games with the AZ teams and both games were close.But this is Legends second 05 team, right? Isn't their top team playing ECRL?
Any updates on the February GA showcase tournament in Austin TX? Is it happening??
Same - going forward as if the showcase is on.Our team manager sent a message today saying that it is still on as of now.
Oh boy! stand by for an influx of people trying to shame teams like they did the Surf cup teams. Go play it will be good. They have been playing in 45 states in the country and no issues
Very true. It means it takes longer to get a drink.We flew back in JUL/AUG on an empty place, round trip, recent travel, planes were nearly full. Even for those that believe air travel is safe (like me), a full plane makes you pause.
ha, yes it does..PIAVery true. It means it takes longer to get a drink.
Surf Cup was very well run. Protocols were in place. The event is outside. As someone who attended and knows many who did, I have not heard a single 'story' of anyone catching the virus there.Honestly, I think clubs and parents are waiting to see what comes out of the Surf Cup. There are already stories of players, families, teams who have reported cases of Covid associated with travel to AZ or being involved in Surf Cup. I don't think you can point the finger directly at the event but perception, chatter, and hearsay can influence.
For most, Surf Cup was a driving event. For many, Round Rock will be a flying event. To many, flying is scarier than driving, especially since airlines are not cramming people in again.

Don't misunderstand or misrepresent what I'm saying. I don't believe you catch anything but wins and losses on a field at a soccer tournament.Surf Cup was very well run. Protocols were in place.

Well your teams will be at full capacity. AIA just cancelled winter high school sports in AZ. So all those players will be back at club practice next week.That was their choice. If Round Rock is a go, we'll go. If it's cancelled or our club chooses to not go, then so be it.
Like you, my DD has no interest in HS. HS had little to zero impact, most girls chose club over HS. Son on the other was looking forward to his senior year soccer experience before heading off to college to play.Well your teams will be at full capacity.

I was just in TX last week. All open.....except AustinAny updates on the February GA showcase tournament in Austin TX? Is it happening??
Yeah my boys are bummed. They were talking last night about kicking off their basketball season next weekend vs 3 high schools in a mini tournament.Like you, my DD has no interest in HS.

Who is in charge in Austin? Trick question. We know.I was just in TX last week. All open.....except Austin
It's unfortunate and especially sad for HS seniors. I had little confidence that the season would actually occur but had remained optimistic.Yeah my boys are bummed. They were talking last night about kicking off their basketball season next weekend vs 3 high schools in a mini tournament.
My DD never does HS soccer. She has been training instead with a bunch of college girls. Last night was the last night with them. She and the other few ECNL girls not playing HS were/are slated to practice with the ECNL boys who were not on HS teams.
I suspect that will change and all the teams will be doing regular training shortly.
I messes up or has the potential to mess up lots of stuff.It's unfortunate and especially sad for HS seniors. I had little confidence that the season would actually occur but had remained optimistic.
I do have concerns over the potential residual effect on club sports.
