Just heard GaSoccer is pushing tryouts back at least one week back to June 1st. With many govt. facilities still closed had a feeling this was coming.

I’m sure they get postponed beyond that with all the county field issue for tryouts.

Unless they want to do nothing but technical and small-group.. I'd be surprised if they let tryouts happen before mid-june.

For clubs that are no longer in GA Soccer (Athena/Classic) and only in other leagues, would GA Soccer be able to impact their tryouts (maybe Academy??) Not sure how this works now since it looks like so many clubs have completely jumped ship and are only offering SCCL/SCCL-P rather than Athena/Classic |

I would think there would be an advantage for the smaller clubs to hold tryouts ASAP even ahead of the bigger clubs to try and lock up players for next season.

Legally by GA Soccer Rules those smaller clubs can not do that if they still plan to be in GA Soccer run leagues. I think Club Soccer programs can have theirs pretty much anytime they feel like it. I don't think any of the big 5 clubs are going to have academy or select aged programs in GA Soccer anymore starting this year. They will all be in ECNL/SCCL or other Club soccer leagues. |

Not sure how this works now since it looks like so many clubs have completely jumped ship and are only offering SCCL/SCCL-P rather than Athena/Classic All of these clubs are still in Ga Soccer as ECNL and SCCL don’t have Rec or Academy, and even for those low level teams that’ll stay in Athena/Classic. Also to keep everyone equal most clubs have decided to follow these rules as ECNL/USClub tryouts started in May so technically the ECNL clubs could already establish ECNL only teams. |

Again the main point is lost in all the scare tactics. The truth is: THIS ISN'T ANY WORSE THAN THE FLU for 99% of the population. And for those who say" but even 1 death is too many". I agree---but then agree to shutdown everything every time the flu comes around-because it kills too.
THAT is the reality.

What?!? The man that stole his governor's election possibly made up numbers to make it look good for himself 🤭🤭🤭 shocking..... Agreed. But anyone looking at the numbers independently knew that we weren't trending down when he reopened. Even POTUS knew it and called Kemp out on it. (Keeping my opinion to myself with regards to politics). Many other states reopening as well. I think we reopened too soon, but would absolutely be more comfortable with my kids on a soccer field than in a restaurant. We still have not gone to a restaurant for a sit down meal but my kids have done small group soccer trainings for weeks with their private trainer. We still wear masks in grocery stores, entering take out restaurants. Public places with high volume of people in and out (stores, restaurants) are more likely to have infected people there than the soccer field. So I am ready to proceed with tryouts. |

Shut it down and not spread it. So If you can positively tell me you don’t have Covid-19 then yeah sure let’s go ahead and reopen. But since you can’t then you’re just help promoting deaths and sickness. |

It's worse than the flu, but it remains to be seen how much worse, likely 2-3x worse.
Akso, reading that piece made me feel kinda gross.
We are on the decline both cases and deaths, but I agree, we weren't when Kemp lifted non-essential work ban. The ban and mandatory shelter-in-place never should have gone in place from the start. Recommendations, absolutely, threats at gunpoint, never.

Academy age will remain GA Soccer ECNL/SCCL doesn't begin until at least u12 or u13 Please quit going around here making blanket statements like this. State the club your kid is in and state what they are doing. You are wrong on no Academy aged kids being able to register with US Club Soccer. We have already gone through this in the other post. SSA registered all their academy aged teams with US Club Soccer membership not GA Soccer membership. You do realize that US Club Soccer has a database just like GA Soccer and it produces a player pass for the player? They don't have to be in SCCL or any other US Club league. Just like Academy teams don't get registered in any division or league in GA soccer. They do all their own in house scheduling but the player pass still gets produced by GA soccer. The same thing can be achieved registering with us club soccer also and that is what SSA did. In fact there is a whole different website and system for scheduling and divisions for SCCL and it isn't on US Club Soccer's site. SCCL is just affiliated with US Club Soccer. You can make any team be affiliated with us club soccer as long as you follow their rules. |

The point is that you can have Covid 19 and not know it (no symptoms), unlike the flu; and spread to everyone who you come in contact with for days and weeks and they can spread it for days and weeks, etc. That is NOT like the flu. Why is that so hard to acknowledge? |

Some people in South Korea and some sailors from the USS Teddy Roosevelt have tested positive weeks after testing negative (and previously having tested positive). Like HPV, herpes and the flu, it's just going to be something we have to deal with. The good news is there may be some therapies coming down the pike soon. Don't put too many eggs in the "cure" basket.

If professional leagues are designing special helmets to play football in, I think youth soccer can take some precautions or delay some additional time. If the NFL, NBA, and MLB can and will lose billions of dollars, surely there must be more something more than mass hysteria |

Excellent points beastmode, If Olympics, and every professional league, tournaments all postponed mind you they are losing billions. Why should youth soccer with nothing major to lose but a few more months not pause for a moment in time.
We have summertime to figure it out, things can get back to close to normal by fall, but we need to get things right now.

Fixed your quote for you, figured your autocorrect must have messed you up if you’ve done even the slightest bit of actual research on the comparisons. So. Sick. Of the flu comparisons. I said it a month ago and somehow they STILL continue. Absolutely, unequivocally ridiculous comparison. |

Actually Jordan had food poisoning, if you watched the last dance this weekend he said he ordered a pizza to his hotel in Utah and started throwing up a couple hours later. (Note i'm in the Covid is not the flu camp, just the fact that you can have and spread it for weeks before symptoms makes it worse). We do have to get on with it at some point, but being diligent has to be part of it. |
