[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like many of the ECNL/GA clubs in NC & SC have been training multiple days per week since the beginning of June and without following State guidelines for Phase II.

However,  NCFC/NC Courage decided they wanted to "set the standard" and follow the rules.  They held a few "social distance" trainings in June before shutting it back down.  They will start social distance training again this week and continue until the Governor announces Phase III for NC.  I think NC is one of the few mid-atlantic/southeast states that is still in Phase II or at least not [u]allowing[/u] contact training to resume in youth sports.   But it doesn't seem right that clubs who have been following guidelines and have done next to nothing since March will soon be playing games against other clubs who have been training 3 days/wk for the past couple months.

If transmission rates are low and and it is deemed safe to play, play.  If they are not low and play is not recommended, DO NOT play.  as for who wins and loses youth soccer games at this point?  not that meaningful.  It never really was and not even less so.[/quote]

I agree, but go check out some of the social media accounts for clubs like Solar and their respective teams and tell me wins don't matter.  Texas is a COVID-19 hotbed, yet these top clubs are all-in even during a pandemic.  [/quote]

and?   who looks at club social media other then parent or kids with the club?  please dont tell me you look at social media accounts of any youth sports club other then that of your own child.[/quote]

I guess a parent whose child plays on a top ECNL team would, should they have a vested interest in what's going on with their child's competition and peers.[/quote]

They need to find a better use for their time.   Who were the top teams last year and the year before?    See...no one remembers or cares because it is all pay to play youth soccer and who wins or loses these matches is of very short and limited interest or value.

Some team some where will do great this year and then another one the following year and so on and do forth.  Just focus on the task at hand each day and then move on.[/quote]

Solar consistently wins national titles in multiple age groups, so it is interesting to see what that club is doing differently.  The answer is they never stop.  [/quote]

Player pool size?[/quote]
