[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]3v3 tournament in Alexandria scheduled for July 18th just got cancelled "due to rising number of Covid cases in this area".[/quote]

I agree with cancelling it because I don't think soccer tournaments are necessary during a pandemic.  However, cases here aren't rising that much.  It was never a good idea to have it, not because of some change.[/quote]

They handled this poorly in both directions.  Seemed tone deaf to go forward with a tournament so soon after the area entered Phase 3 and we all can see the local governments have been on the restrictive side.  It is not even clear that tournaments as opposed to games are currently allowed.

Then if they say rising cases are a reason to cancel then Alexandria Soccer might as well close up shop for the year because there will be weeks with rising cases.  Right now it even seems like they are referencing the national rather than local case count.  So basically rising cases anywhere is a reason to cancel.

The local youth soccer organizations are going to have to get their act together better than this for there to be league games in the Fall.  Around here they will need the protocols and sales job to sell the local governments that youth soccer is a manageable risk and that the youth benefits outweigh the risks.[/quote]
