I explained this in another post but the 2.2 trillion stimulus law also allows 1099 contract employees to file for unemployment which has never happened in the past. It also gets them that extra $600 in unemployment that usually doesn't happen either. Laying them off helps the coaches get that money and I think they get it even if they had gotten paid all their money already though, I know for SSA more get it in distributions throughout the year not all at once in the fall. I think it is a win-win for the club and the coach for the time being. I still think all the good coaches will eventually be retained and given a new contract once fall starts again. No one has been released, the clubs all applied for the PPP, 3 clubs got funds but were told that only w2 employees included. Most coaches if not all are 1099. Coaches have been told to apply as a precaution, no one wants them to be with no $$. For some of these coaches, this is their only job and they can't even supplement with extra training. At least if they get unemployment they can get something to get them buy until fields reopen. It's a bad situation all around My husband runs a small business with about 10 employees. When applying for the loan from this new legislation, they were told by their loan officer (from the SBA) that 1099 employees could not be included in their calculations for the assistance provided by the benefits from these loans. They did have a couple of 1099 employees that they ended up having to let go so they could file unemployment (as slickdaddy96 said)

I've known Efrain for a long time and I'm pretty sure he was UFA since very young, but I could be wrong. Great kid. Great family. Wonderful news!

My opinion ( KEY WORD OPINION )- Gala == FUNDRAISER with party clothes. Too close to end of season tournament expenses and therefore not bringing in the $$.

We like the Jorge (GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!) because he is at least excited - he is annoying, but damn glad to be there. Stuart is a bit boring. But the games have been good. And boring was good as I was watching at the office...

Being told by a coach that EVERYONE would be called (one way or the other) and never being called with ANY information. Especially after kid was led to believe she was being offered a spot. Damn that’s harsh. Hopefully she was able to find a team. Yes. She did. She had 2 other offers. She will be fine. I just feel for the kids who may not have had the cushion.

As my son said (U12 this year on 9v9 Field - eg Fowler...) - “this looks like our games looked this spring. No space and no time. All the players better be good in tight spaces and super creative. Linger on the ball and you get crushed” Whereas he is absolutely correct, NYCFC clearly has the home advantage. No one else has this ridiculous setup. And adult sized people on this small a space just looks crappy. As you can tell, I REALLY REALLY REALLY dislike this field.

Doesn’t look like a big difference but 15% or so less playing surface. Given penalty boxes same size, rest of field area probably close to 20% smaller versus Benz. Same number of players in 20% less space most of the game and yes - tight! That's the big tell. When you see how close together the players are and how "crowded" it looks. They should just play 9v9 to keep out of each other's way on that "pitch" (It's HORRIBLE!!)

I think you just chronicled the lives of most of us on this forum and around the city. It doesn't really get any slower when they drive themselves either...

HS is not club. Athena B and higher should make varsity as Freshmen unless you are at one of the powerhouse schools Strikermom is talking about. We had Classic 3 boy make our little old HS Varsity team as a Freshman (along with the expected Classic 1 players). That being said, it all depends on the school and how many tryout and how many are high level club players.

Pet Peeve - listening to a few holier than thou dads pick on a college aged ref (young college aged ref) about how bad he was. Mostly because their team wasn't getting any calls. One dad said he was a ref and you could "buy" your ref creds and that the refs don't have basic knowledge of the game. I bet they (the 3 dudes) couldn't pass the tests... or the recerts. I was biting my tongue so hard as to say anything. If things were so bad why aren't they ref-ing? They sure seemed to know everything. They also assumed the center was in High School. Dudes, the girls playing are juniors and seniors in high school. I thought the center had to be older than the players. If the players are SENIORS in high school, how can he be in High School? Game was very even. Both teams brought physicality and weren't afraid to get into some intense battles. Most were clean - some were not, and those were called. Neither team could finish. Game ended 0-0. Just don't complain if you aren't going to do something about it!!

Think that is more of a Forsyth County Parks and Rec issue, right? I thought that UFA leased or rented that space from the county. I think the county has the ultimate decision on dimensions and layout. Not 100% sure but think that is the case. You are correct - Forsyth County Parks and Rec dictates which fields can be used by UFA and which are to be used by other organizations. So "empty" fields are not "empty" - they are designated to other groups.

True pickup games happen at every park that isn't locked, in areas with lots of Hispanics. I've wanted my gringo son to go play with them for years... Best training my son ever got - played for a club with mostly Hispanic players. The coach was good too..

OH NO!!! Our best to her and your family! I agree with goteam - follow the rehab instructions! We had a friend come back from surgery only to re-injure herself her first tournament back in the game. Careful recovery!

What is nice when clubs do this also for the younger academy teams -- let kids play up but not down. I've seen so many u9/u10 games, where a top team player from the opposition suits up against a 3rd team. (sometimes its necessary to field a team, often its not) Gotta be careful what you are saying - I know what you mean but the "new to soccer" person could be confused. There are 2 kinds of up / down - Age and Skill Level. Soccerhouse is talking about up a skill level in this post. In clubs where players are pooled - there are skill level groupings. Some clubs are able to do what is being discussed - make sure the more advanced skill levels do not play in a lower skill level. That is nice and helpful for the still developing players. But sometimes it's unavoidable. I know it's probably obvious, but you can never play down from your age in regular season play. There are more nuances, but for the sake of simplicity, let's leave it at that. Tournaments are different beasts altogether as is rostering and age in U13 and older players. One step at a time.

This is very very sad. It has been a very difficult year for young people. Heartbreaking.

Quick update for you. They're playing in the region iii championships and have won all three games with 10 goals for, 1 against. They're killing it as always. We left our club and joined CFA (different age group) for the upcoming year and are excited to see how things go. CFA is a very new club and we expect some bumps as far as organization and such (no overpaid admin to help push paper for them) but I think it's going to be a great year from what I've seen so far! For all the admins out there - I'm going to take offense at that "overpaid admin" comment. Go ahead and volunteer to be a TM. Better yet, go ahead and learn the complicated system used for administrative purposes for GA Soccer. Be an admin around State Cup / tournament time / team declaration time / opening day. I believe you'll be singing a different tune. Phones and emails blowing up. Personal time?? Non-existent. Unfortunately, paperwork is a just another thing that must be dealt with if you want to participate. Herding cats comes to mind. On the other hand - I hope your son enjoys next season!

"Guest Players" are not allowed. You can transfer players from other clubs to your roster before the checkin deadline. The players must be either in your club (club pass) or on your roster (via transfer if necessary).

Anyone following it yet?
Did you see the Bayern-Arsenal game yesterday (jack4343 )? It was a clinic. The pain of it all is still fresh. I'm glad I only watched a little. Ouch.
