Any idea what the RTP guidelines are? I think CDC developed something. Just wondering if that is what GA soccer intends to follow.

They haven't been released yet. However per the email a lot of clubs already have plans and will be tweaked accordingly

I like this little blurb from our club’s email blast: “With that said we do anticipate more concrete information being released from governing bodies like US Club Soccer, US Specialty Sports Association, and our local municipalities which will detail when and how we are able to resume some normalcy.”
Notice any glaring omissions in the governing bodies listed?

Again, I don't know why the local clubs wouldn't create their own academy league.

I still don’t how you can have return to play when a majority of clubs have fields that they don’t control? If tryouts are scheduled at a county field and that county has not opened fields for 100s or kids to participate then this is all a moot point.

Ah, the GSA email. Did anyone else notice that they are moving U14 tryouts at GSA to be the same week as Academy & U13 (currently scheduled 5/26 - 5/28)? According to the email it was to better assist with field space and staffing. Also, they are apparently planning to do this moving forward and not just this year. As for the glaring omission, they don't care what GA Soccer has to say. They pretty much made that clear a month or two ago when they told everyone in an email blast that most of their programs don't fall under GA Soccer control and they are working with their other governing bodies to come up with a plan. |

UFA is working on contingency plans for locations so i assume other clubs are doing the same. How about The Mall of Georgia parking lot? It's pretty empty now |

The fields may even be open, but there are still limitations on large groups gathering, are there not?? Social gathering? If so, how do you have a tryout with hundreds of kids and parents?

I guess that they're expecting that given 2 more weeks, the state will be in even better position with regards to the virus.

Aren't most (all?) u14s w/ Academy & 13s? Thought 15 and up was the later dates... |

U14 was typically during the 2nd week of tryouts.

The clubs who have private fields could do SOMETHING.. but it's not going to look like a regular tryout. Those who use city/county fields are likely out of luck for a few extra weeks.

I am guessing some counties and cities want to collect revenue from opening their fields up.

Would people, (parents), be more comfortable if cubs took the stance of taking kids' temperatures before they entered the fields at one access point, or 2 if they had the manpower? Space out with social distancing guidelines of course. Parents may have to sit in cars or wear face coverings and maintain their 6 feet.

People can are contagious and can spread the virus before they have a fever. |

Nope to the taking of temperatures because until someone shows me that this thing is only contagious once a fever spikes it’s a waste of time and money and resources. Everything I read said the fever isn’t the first indication and you were contagious long before the fever was discovered.
Im sure we will have to have parents sitting 6 feet apart on spacer dots for the sideline and even the refs wearing masks and gloves but truthfully I don’t see that curbing the pandemic.
Honestly I feel safer outside for soccer than I do for an indoor sport like volleyball or basketball.

Watching all these big companies, like the airlines and the hospitals,there is a such a big push for temperature taking prior to entering buildings, you cannot buy them anymore either. I also see they have developed cameras that detect temperatures. Surely, they cannot detect A-symptomatic folks, but does it get a large part of the population? Not saying all, but most. There's no 100% solution. |

Some of the activity is for risk mitigation. So when someone sues, and someone always sues, you can avoid negligence by showing all the cute things you did like sending social distancing emails, taking temperatures and painting marks on the ground. Voila! Lawsuit averted!

Parents stay in cars during tryouts ❤️❤️
Coaches would 100% love that as would some kids
I don't really think anyone can sue, there's waivers you sign and no one is forcing anyone to be there. Enter at your own risk
