When we go back, do you think coaches and players will (actually) follow social distance guidelines?

I think they will start with the best intentions but within a few weeks or even practices start to sluff off and stand to close and have contact and just sort of be like “whatever”. We have a hard enough time telling them to stay back from the field when watching a match.

Unless the club appoints a social distance coach to patrol the field and keep all the kids in line.

I hope they totally ignore them.

No. You can't play soccer and stay six feet apart, so that would mean no scrimmaging.

We don't know yet what the guidelines will be for soccer. During a game, I don't think there will be any social distancing. On the bench, they might be required to stand 6 feet apart and wear a mask. The Team Manager could enforce this easily enough. During practice, the coach has to pay attention and be in charge of it. I'm sure it won't be perfect.

I think you could in a practice situation. I think it would be impossible in a game situation.

Both VYSA and MYSA have released guidelines.

Yeah because 7 feet means your out of harms way. Get over it even if your 10 feet apart the odds don't change dramatically in your favor. If your kids is sick or showing symptoms keep them home. Thats how you do your part. If you stop living life, life will go away, just a thought

No guideline saying social distance during game.

There will be no game for a while. Practices with social distance is something we will see first.

Coaches and clubs have the hardest job here, not easy trying to get kids to stay 6 feet apart.

No, but risk is low. We will all be making these assessments about how much risk we are comfortable with.

It would be great if parents had to watch from their cars. Especially the obnoxious ones.
