If players are not getting much college interest, I suspect they'd want Jeff Cup to be played. If they're already talking to colleges, I would think they want August weekends to visit colleges.

And I'd bet college coaches would rather not be using a pre-season tourney as a recruiting tool. Kids will be rusty and not fit. Coaches have a season to prepare for, plus the risk and expense of travel and COVID.

Tough call on whether Jeff Cup is worth it this year.

my daughter is an ecnl player and I dont know. So how bout you stop being an A hole and just answer the question? or do you not know the answer?

NP. I believe the ECNL guidelines suggest waiting eight weeks from the beginning of phase 2 before returning to full contact games. So if phase 2 began on June 12, per the ECNL guidelines the earliest date you'd play a game is August 12. Jefferson Cup is currently scheduled Aug 1-3.

The Executive Director of the Richmond Strikers is also on the ECNL board, so hosting the event on the current dates runs counter to the ECNL guidance.

Let’s not let common sense and public health get in the way of making money. Let the tournaments start, if the kids aren’t fit or this results in a COVID outbreak, who cares. The money will be made and the after effects will be somebody else’s problem.

But thats ECNLS phase 2, not each states Phase 2. Pretty much every club is following similar guidelines. [/quote}]

Most clubs. But yes, Virginia has been a bit more strict than most states and with youth sports. This has actually been good for us. Come Aug. we should be ready for our kids to get out on the pitch, while other states not showing many restrictions are being closed down.
