Winter ECNL games

[Anonymous]

I wish there was very clear rules from the league and clubs in this situation and that it was enforced. Our club put out some procedures to be followed surrounding players traveling and coming to practice and games but they are not enforcing it and it is obviously causing problems on the team.

Asking the families to police each other is not a recipe for a cohesive team. League and clubs need to grow some balls and handle this.

I am really concerned about the mental health of the people who are obsessed about soccer tournaments in which their kids are not participating, as well as about the mental health of their kids who are not leaving the house. So there’s another opinion about interstate ECNL play during a pandemic in which quite a number of people (many not leaving their house) are showing signs of mental illness.

I don’t know anyone who has not left their house.

Just because people think that excessive travel, travel that requires flying etc, is not a wise idea can also be certainly fine with events that are back and forth drivable.

The less one has to eat out, stay at hotels etc the better. The further and longer the stay the less appealing the event is to many.

I don't see a drive to NC and a one night stay at a hotel for a youth soccer game(s) to be significantly more risky than what people might be doing on a normal weekend, assuming the same precautions are being followed, masks, social distancing, etc.

Except it will be two games requiring up to two night stays in possibly two different hotels.

Less risk than flying to a showcase? Certainly. Risk free? No.

The games are generally scheduled so that only a one night stay is required. Yes, there is risk, but no more than what you have already accepted going to home depot, getting gas and groceries, and picking up food around town. Worth it? Absolutely.

Do you need to eat out twice going to Home Depot? Do the kids and other family members need to go to Home Depot?

Huh? Delivery whether at home or on the road. Makes no difference. I haven't eaten out since March and I have been on the road plenty.

So you do takeout or curbside twice a day and you also take the entire family to Home Depot.

The point is there is more risk involved than driving down and back to Richmond for a game.

There is more risk flying to a showcase than driving to North Carolina.

There is more risk eating in than with curbside.

There is more risk eating curbside than making your own meal.

North Carolina is just on the edge because while it is drivable it does require a hotel stay while Richmond or Baltimore do not. And it is kinda pathetic that ECNL could not realign for just this year with local Maryland teams knowing HS sports were screwed anyways.

No true, you shouldn’t comment on it for everyone if you don’t know.

This is why the league and clubs just need to make a firm policy based on science...they have an in-house MD.....and then communicate it and enforce it. Not doing so is causing constant tension and difficulties among all the families.

Our coach told the team they are going to NC. Our team manager said games are being rescheduled. That is my most updated info

Sure would be nice to hear from a team manager, even just to say they are still figuring it out!!

I don't disagree but I think the broader message is, leagues are providing a lot of leeway with clubs scheduling their seasons. So start with asking your manager and coach.

What may be happening at one club could be very different than your club. Asking here will unfortunately do little to answer your specific questions.

It should come from the ECNL.
