Will futsal happen or not? Plans for a league to happen or only training?


Alexandria/ Bethesda league will happen outdoor. St. James will have indoor futsal league.

Right, but that is only assuming that the area that St. James is in (Fairfax?) does not impose additional restrictions on indoor sports.

Northam just imposed restrictions on outdoor and indoor sports- futsal is over for now

His new restrictions says noting about indoor/ outdoor sports except the 25 pp gathering restrictions.

So, the Kids play and the parents wait outside? LOL.

At any game there is always 25 or more people "gathering" so maybe yes, cancel?

What do you mean? Players are not included in the 25 person count, and don't let parents in to spectate.

Where does it say that youth sports are excepted? It seems as if they would fit within item 13 of the sixth amended EO 67:

But, even so, the players are not included in the 25 person count.

So has anyone not heard anything yet? I know most red and white offers already went out. Are they just keeping the prior teams together for the most part---even if they were losing on the tryout fields?

Most Clubs follow the 'Peter Principle'.

Works for me. As much as I like watching my son play, the reason we are signing him up for futsal is for him to enjoy it, stay active during the winter, and improve his skills. I'm sure he can do all that without me cheering from the bleachers.

I understand that St. James futsal is moving forward as planned!

You read the entire order and didn't see anything regarding recreational sports? Seriously?

A.: 13. Recreational Sports
Indoor and outdoor recreational sports activities are permitted, provided participants and organizers of recreational sports activities comply with the following requirements:
a. The total number of spectators cannot exceed the lesser of 30% of the occupancy load of the certificate of occupancy for the venue, if applicable, or 25 spectators per field. Races or marathons may have up to 250 participants, provided staggered starts separate runners into groups of 25 or less.
b. Conduct screening of coaches, officials, staff, and players for COVID-19 symptoms prior to admission to the venue/facility.

That is the exact order and paragraph that I was citing in the link. Youth sports are not "excepted," they are subject to the same rules as all other recreational sports, which limit the number of spectators. What is it that you were claiming they were "excepted" from?

Our minds are not meeting, even though it seems we are looking at the same thing. Youth sports isn't a gathering neither is school. So yes, the spectators will be limited per field, but they will not include in the 25 number the players, coaches, and officials. And this is for games. For practices, you probably can't watch at all. But I am speculating. For futsal, unless you are at TSJ or playing outside, I would expect to not be able to watch, and if outside, be ready to watch from the car.

TSJ is working on a live stream for basketball, which I assume will also be for futsal. No spectators for practice.

That's a nice idea, but where would you be watching it from live that you would be in an area with fewer than 25 others? Just curious, not trying to knock the idea.

I would imagine that, unless you live very close to the St. James, the only viable option is in your car, if you are a single parent doing drop off and pick up as I am.
