Next season tryouts?

[Anonymous]

Would you let you kid play if there was a chance he would get the flu? how bout the chance he or she has to get a traumatic head and or brain injury? How bout a chance they could suffer a spinal injury ? All have a better chance of happening then your normal healthy with no underlying conditions child age 8-19 years old dying from covid19. Just a thought..

People are not going to keep being hermits for the high risk.

Sure, maybe your and my kid will be out there, but there will be ALOT of kids not allowed. Alot people will not be ready to send their kids out to play soccer in June with no treatments available, etc. What will the liability be to the clubs? Will the clubs and coaches want that responsibility? Will the clubs want this headache?

Don’t buy into the fear. Use facts, how many teenagers have died in the US from covid? How many tweens have died in the US from covid? How many infants and toddlers have died from covid? If they do get sick it’s like the flu at worse for them. I know it’s scary but if you actually look at the facts it really isn’t that scary. Now if you have someone that is high risk maybe it’s a different story for you but life will move forward by June.

June? What states are going to be fully into phase 3 by June? What local governments are going to allow mass gatherings without social distancing by June? Whether or not some people want to assume the risk is not really relevant, the government types are going to move very slowly on this...

South caroline and Florida are sending kids back to school in a week or two. I hear they are scheduling soccer games and if you team does not play, it’s a forfeit.

Sure we let our kids play and always hope that they do not get the flu, or sustain a traumatic injury. Regarding the virus, I'n more concerned with my 8-19yo getting it and coming home to give it to the rest of my family, a few of whom are not 8-19yo and statistically have a much higher chance of dying from it.

I know there are many who probably don't care about passing the virus along to loved ones or others who are at risk, but I imagine there are many who do care about that kind of thing.

Sorry, but soccer just isn’t that important right now. Don’t you have a state capital to storm to protest your civil liberties being taken away.

Neither governor has said this is the case. I appreciate the wishful thinking, but you are incorrect.

Everybody cares. Don’t be so juvenile. Continued transmission is inevitable unless you want everybody to stop their lives and end their businesses until you decide it’s safe to leave the house. That would be incredibly selfish and is in any event completely implausible. Stay home to avoid it while everybody else works to get you herd immunity.

Fair enough. I don't think I mentioned or even implied anything about staying inside until the danger has passed, or that anyone should end their business. 100% agree that the current state is not sustainable.

Just pointing out that I hesitate to expose my kid(s) and family to a highly contagious virus with no vaccine or proven reliable treatment in order to play a game, and that the risks mentioned above are not quite the same as flu has a vaccine and proven treatment, and traumatic injuries are not contagious.

Herd immunity does not work in a vacuum. In order to get to that point how many thousands should die?

Our club announced no tryouts for existing players. Plan to start playing mid May.

County parks are closed until June to match the state order. There will be no soccer in May and likely none this summer. Accept it.

No kidding. But it is happening with or without you. You are out of your mind if you think people will lock down until a vaccine appears earlier at 18 months from now. Again, be specific: how long do we lock down, exactly when would you lift the lockdown, and how much employment and federal spending do you think this requires that could be spent over the next 30 years to feed children, improve health care, etc. we don’t even know a vaccine will actually work. So enjoy the free ride and respect the rights of others to get on with their lives. If you are not leaving the house, that is both your prerogative and protection.

Sorry to break this to you but youth sports are not going to be considered essential enough. Accept it.

Yes, you are confusing the need to gradually open up non essential businesses with commencing kid soccer practices and leagues in the summer. Two totally different things. Kid soccer is not essential. Kid soccer will not be the same for a long time.

Your correct the above injuries are not contagious, However they can be much more life altering than Covid19. Plus look at the numbers logically. The chance of dying from Covid19 are smaller for a youth athlete than the chances they have one of he above serious life altering injuries. I understand the "im not putting my child at risk" mentality.

It may take 3 months or even 18 months. But like all other risks and concerns you will eventually gain the confidence and get past the fear to live your life.

The mentality (and I have no problem admitting, fear) that I have is that exposing my 8-19yo--who again, I understand is low risk of dying from the virus--will also expose others we live with who are at high risk of dying (which I would classify as "life-altering" for both the deceased and the people who love the deaceased). Would hate to expose those I love so that my kid can chase a ball around.
