Would someone mind clarifying this? It seems like the Ivies and PACWest conference opted out, but all other conferences are tentatively in?

It wouldnt be spring soccer. No such thing in the north east. By May, all those schools are done. Playing in March outside is tough, so is practicing in the morning in the cold and dark in Feb and March

Who in their right mind would put in a turf field without lights?

no comprende?

lax first game is in the first week of Feb at the D1 college level
that means practice starts about 2 weeks from right now ( usually about 23 practice days before the first contest)
THEY practice outside- not many colleges have bubbles- the ones that do use them

Tentatively. All the others have their tentative schedules. California, especially Cal South are suffering the pandemic big time right now. Hence the Big West cancelled. If things keep getting worse, I don’t know how other CA colleges don’t have to back out. Basketball is more important due to March Madness big money. More schools may back out like the Ivies. Many of them had a fall season already anyway and will get to have a regular fall season this fall.

Exactly....so if you want a “spring” soccer season, that’s when it would start. In Hs, the kids are still playing basketball.

Soccer girls are to soft to play and practice outside in the northeast in the winter. Also, with the uptick in covid, the last thing states are going to do is let girls start practice indoors and travel across state lines. Playing outside when cases were lower would have been safer no? A lot of these kids are testing positive during the holidays. Schools are going to have to get things under control when they re open after the holidays.

first of all my kids teams have always practiced outside- sometimes it really sucks but most days are ok-

2nd- not too many 2 sport athletes in college so Bball doesnt factor in- and no it doesnt have to start that early- soccer is a 3 month season so late feb,march, april, end in early may

Not the poster you responded to - if numbers in the US had stayed decent I think spring sports could have happened. But the way numbers are right now it very well may not. As noted practices would need to start fairly soon and decisions to run or not need to happen soon. Soccer and other sports are not revenue sports and schools are way more worried about staying opening and trying to get more students back on campus. Basketball of course will happen at all the bigger programs - too much $ involved. But I can see lower level programs and D3s cancelling winter and spring.

Nescac already cancelled winter sports. I bet they cancel spring too. You really think they are going to say girls soccer, a fall sport, can practice in February and play games. Not happening!
