A season without throw ins?

[Anonymous]

I seem to recall a few years (decades?) ago MLS petitioned FIFA to play with a kick-in rather than a throw-in. It got nowhere, but I saw Gov. Northam's plan specifically called on soccer coaches to try and avoid throw-ins during practice.

Wonder if the leagues might sanction a futsal-like kick in this year?

Please tell me baseball, football, and basketball have remained banned.

In the Gov plan football practice should only include passes to players who are wearing gloves.

Maybe ... soccer players can wear ... wait for it ... gloves.

lucky soccer players, basketballers , volleyballers have no choice but to use gloves.

Exactly, how can you play tackle football or basketball but not do throw ins. Makes zero sense.

That sounds like something that would be in the Gov's plan. Gloves aren't magic. If you wear gloves for an entire game/practice, it doesn't prevent you from touching your face. They will get the same germs on them as hands would.

I believe we have practice next week. The only soccer gloves I know of are the goalie ones. Are there sports gloves that the kids will need to wear. I want to order if anyone has visibility on this. TIA

LOOK--gloves are no good if they are rubbing their nose, eyes, mouth with them on. They are no better than bare hands.

Our Club started practicing in small groups 2.5 weeks ago. They take temps. Parents can't get out of the car. They have cones spaced. There is no player contact yet.

AND they still sanitize every ball with bleach in between player group sessions, before the next age group takes the field.

You people are being ridiculous when you think how close players get and breathe on one another, marking each other, pressing up against each other---gloves are a non-starter.

What does ...."...if any one has visibility on this." mean?

I wasn’t sure if this was a new rule. I am not a typical soccer mom so advice is helpful.

I mean, someone still has to go get the ball, place it on the sideline, then kick it, right? this seems kind of pointless but OK whatever gets the kids back out there

Actually "kick ins" were trialed by FIFA back in the 1990s. Wenger (Arsenal) was actually a big supporter of the idea thinking it would speed up the game, but the trials didn't go well.


https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/sep/25/joy-of-six-short-lived-football-rule-changes

"Of course, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun. Kick-ins were trialled in the mid-1990s, proposed at a Fifa meeting in 1994 with everybody’s pal Sepp Blatter proclaiming that “in two years the kick-in will replace the throw-in in the laws of the game and then we will have an even faster game than we have now.” Perhaps Blatter was just trying to reclaim the roots of the game; after all, the original set of laws written in 1862 made no provision for a throw-in, and it wasn’t until 1882 that it was declared a ball departing the side of the pitch shall be returned via the double-handed throw.

Still trials were launched in the Belgian and Hungarian lower leagues, but also in the Diadora League in England (the seventh tier), which for the 1994-95 season would play guinea pig. It did not, to say the least, go down well, with some managers blindly refusing to allow their players to take kick-ins, and the new rule only served to do what most assumed it would – encourage long punted balls downfield."

That would be awesome. My son was a wing during the last futsal season, and got the kick in down to a fine art. It was his specialty.
