OBGC Capital Cup- Labor Day Tournament Status

[Anonymous]

Looks like fall soccer will be a go after all. Just received this update in regards to the OBGC Capital Cup Labor Day Tournament:

Good Morning Everyone,

I wanted to pass along some information that we have just received about field openings that we use for the OBGC Capital Cup Tournament. All fields in Howard County which is the majority of the fields that we use for the OBGC tournament will be fully open starting today June 16th for tournaments, games, and scrimmages. This is great news and will allow us to move full steam ahead with our plans for this labor days event.

Right now there will be some restrictions on who will be able to attend as spectators but as of today, we are good to go. I know many of you are going through tryouts and reorganizing your teams, so if you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me or Cody Pearson at anytime ([e-mail])

Here is the link to apply for this year's tournament: CLICK HERE

Thank you and have a great week!!

Mike Libber
Tournament Director

I think parents will need to start buying binoculars to watch games from a distance or even in their cars. It’s not just for this tournament but I suspect that this might be the norm for all tournaments until everything is normal again.

That would suck but would be down from a live stream from my car.

I don't get the obsession with the spectators (across the board in all the soccer covid guidelines) unless we're talking about Audi field here. A few parents on the sidelines- they can and will easily spread out. Also, they are adults not under the care of the clubs. The kids on the pitch is where I am much more concerned.
