Next season tryouts?

[Anonymous]

What’s going on? My kid is 15. Nothing is happening with his team except soccer zoom discussions
My kid runs 5 miles every other day but that’s about it. I don’t know what clubs are having tryouts. What’s going on? Are there new teams (no DA) or what? Are there even tryouts. We might be up for a team switch. Boys soccer.

There is no school but you think tryouts are happening?

Nothing is happening until social distancing measures are lifted. Time has stopped for now.

I mean has anyone made a plan. We need to come to grips. This season is over. Stop the BS that there will be a spring summer. Let’s get planning fall. Also can’t they do video review of kids etc. I’m pretty sure they can evaluate kids based on video, team and a few speed specs.

Virginia is on lockdown until mid June so the best case scenario are the summer tryouts. If the lockdown is extended to July-August, I think the clubs will simply make offers to existing players without tryouts and maybe save a place or two for potential newcomers. There is absolutely no guarantee that soccer will resume in Fall.

This is not correct that the season is over, and people should only plan for the fall. Our club had a call with all of the boys and girls managers at the end of last week. Things are fluid, to say the least, but just as the gov't, businesses, schools, etc. are planning for all the different possibilities, so too are the soccer clubs and leagues. According to our club:

- a couple of leagues are planning for the possibility of "spring" games being played in June and July. Same is true for tournaments. For example, Jeff Cup has already set weekend dates in July for the various boys and girls weekends.

- State Cup is planning for the possibility of playing all its games over the summer.

- Super Y is similarly being flexible in approach, depending on what happens with the "spring" portion of the season for these other regular season leagues. Super Y may also just have compressed games in August or a tournament or two in August.

- our club will make roster offers for next year to existing players as early as next week. There will not be any tryout for kids already in the club before these offers go out.

- there will be an "official" tryout for boys and girls from outside the club. Under the best case scenario where league play will re-commence in June and July, the date of the official tryout could be early June.

All of this is, of course, subject to real-world events and decisions that will be made by federal, state and local governments, etc. So who the hell knows.

From reading the post, presumably it is a club that has club teams that participate in Jeff Cup, State Cup and Super Y on both the boys' and girls' sides of the club. If true, that narrows the potential clubs that check all of these boxes.

Interesting news though.

No.

Also, if your kid's training consists of running 5 miles a day, he won't do well at tryouts

This is also true for another non-Super Y club who otherwise meets those criteria. Does not mean they will actually go forward. But people are certainly planning to do so in the event things open up. The school analogue is irrelevant. There are many reasons they will remain closed that have little to do with enhanced risk to them or families. And schools involve protracted, close, closed contact among kids for hours on end. If you see the risk from school to be identical to playing or practicing soccer, then you are certainly overestimating the risk from transmission. This does not mean that you should see no risk. But we should obviously be capable of distinguishing between these situations beyond the fact they both involve kids coming into contact. The environment and amount of close contact is exponentially higher in a classroom. The world will move on.

Soccer will start at the earliest, 6 weeks after states record a pattern of decreasing fatalities. Maybe July if all the stars align. June is not going to happen.

June is not going to happen. I am 50/50 on fall too. These leagues have to look at children first and the possibility that someone becomes sick is too high. Spring is most likely. We will most likely see a second wave and it will happen in fall. That is the reality. Unless there is a treatment and there is no treatment then we are all screwed. It took me a long time to accept this but it is the truth.

Phase 2 on opening up includes school, daycare camps youth activity That could be June. Even if it is, suspect some parents may decline.

[Anonymous]

We are going to get to phase two in June. Not happening.
