yes for start of season touches

Thats a lot of money for touches on the ball. Doesn’t that contradict the ECNL 8 week rule?

a lot of money? Its a tourney- an opportunity to play after not playing for 5 months.

what 8 week rule?

ECNL sent out guidelines.

which are what when discussing "8 week rule"

If your kid is an ECNL player you would know. Other than that it doesn’t pertain to you.

NP. I believe the ECNL guidelines suggest waiting eight weeks from the beginning of phase 2 before returning to full contact games. So if phase 2 began on June 12, per the ECNL guidelines the earliest date you'd play a game is August 12. Jefferson Cup is currently scheduled Aug 1-3.

The Executive Director of the Richmond Strikers is also on the ECNL board, so hosting the event on the current dates runs counter to the ECNL guidance.

But thats ECNLS phase 2, not each states Phase 2. Pretty much every club is following similar guidelines.

Most clubs. But yes, Virginia has been a bit more strict than most states and with youth sports. This has actually been good for us. Come Aug. we should be ready for our kids to get out on the pitch, while other states not showing many restrictions are being closed down.

What will happen when 1-2 players that have returned to play contract coronavirus, would the whole club stop

Let’s not let common sense and public health get in the way of making money. Let the tournaments start, if the kids aren’t fit or this results in a COVID outbreak, who cares. The money will be made and the after effects will be somebody else’s problem.

Actually 8 weeks would take you to August 7th and it's just a guideline. Close enough.

Richmond strikers will be making everyone sign liability waivers Im assuming.

The 2022s (and maybe uncommitted 2021s) are the group who coaches need to evaluate most. But August is also the best time before school starts to make college campus visits. If players are not getting much college interest, I suspect they'd want Jeff Cup to be played. If they're already talking to colleges, I would think they want August weekends to visit colleges.

And I'd bet college coaches would rather not be using a pre-season tourney as a recruiting tool. Kids will be rusty and not fit. Coaches have a season to prepare for, plus the risk and expense of travel and COVID.

Tough call on whether Jeff Cup is worth it this year.

College coaches aren’t going to bother with Jeff Cup. If they can have kids on campus for recruiting, they will focus their attention there and doing their primary job of coaching their teams. Most college preseasons start the beginning of august.
