[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in 2020.  We emailed our coaxhes and said none of our DC have time for Zoom meetings.  Basically dared them to challenge our decision.  And we are at a big DA club!   All of them backed down.  2 of them admitted they were told to do it.  Our players are top on their teams.  Told them we would be ready to worry about soccer at the end of the year and that no one we knew gives a crap right now about sports.  Health, jobs, savings.  Not the coaches that coach little kid soccer. Ours are in tremendous shape and not worrying about juggling at home.  Feel bad for all the new parents worried their player may be penalized.  Told one coach the club was an ass for not sending communications that there was no realistic chance for group training anything in 2020.  He agreed.[/quote]

This is totally separate from should soccer be cancelled, refunded , are players penalized etc.   Financial pressures are real as we are a small business owner. And not sure, what age your kids are.

But for kids in middle school and high school, there is a lot of research by experts in psychology, adolescent mental health,  resilience etc - that continuing daily routines, physical activity, doing what you can control in a situation when you don't have a lot of control,  etc is helpful for kids for their mental health.  Our schools are sending out resources on a daily basis from experts supporting this philosophy.

We have middle and high school kids, they need the structure of still doing activities (conditioning, drills, connecting with team mates) for their mental health, if not their physical health.   So yes, for their mental health, we are encouraging and supporting daily routines on sports.  I'm not saying it has to be tied to app, zoom, etc.  Though our coach interaction has been helpful and based on what I know, other parents are grateful for that interaction as well.   If it's stressful or unhelpful for kids, then don't do it.  If it may help them, maybe consider it.    Everybody's experience is different.  [/quote]
