Soccer phase 3 take 2

Tell your kid to go play with their friends at the park. Soccer doesn’t need to be “organized.”

No but soccer/sports run by a club/coach/etc. is more likely to mitigate some risk of spread. The high risk makes no sense because people are out there anyway. Government is just hurting the people who formally run these activities for no real benefit.

Obviously American kids don't play enough non-organized soccer, we've gone over that many times. But are you implying that the solution to the current problem is to tell our kids to just go out and play with their friends at the park? Meaning, if a coach is not present then there is no risk of contracting the virus?

I call BS on this one. 700 people? Come on. Where? Name the place.

What tiny town do you live in? We have 400 kids in just one of our 10+ elementary schools so yeah totally believable.

Here's a solution...Let Them Play. I agree the numbers in this post were likely highly exaggerated but even if they weren't the problem is obvious. The kids have nothing else to do, half the fields are still closed, summer camps are a mess, they don't have their normal sports practices with their normal teams/coaches so they all head to the same place at the same time. Relax the rules on recreational activities and this problem goes away.

If you're not calling your state rep, state senator, and Charlie Bakers office, you're doing it wrong.

Forums like this, Face****, and the cesspool known as Twitter do nothing.

And they all came out at once along with 200-300 parents? Absolutely no way.

Agreed. The people who want us to follow science and listen to epidemiologists, won't acknowledge that the data clearly shows COVID is not a risk to young athletes.

The response is an always exasperated version of "they are spreaders!", as if we don't grock the viral bit. Of course we understand it, we just feel that a) The risk is already there. Kids are out enjoying life right now, and there is no evidence that outdoor youth sports noticeably increments risk and b) Each family should determine their own risk tolerance and mitigation practices. not all family's are equal. some have more money, some have better health, some have grannies some don't. One size does not fit all.

Data is accurate. Logic is sound. fear mongers have no response

They all bust out in to a spontaneous song and dance belting out “singing in the rain”. It was epic and a thing to watch.

Mike Borslow is a BETA. He is taking soccer backwards in the state. He is not progressive he is nothing but a paper pusher.

The whole state has moved into phase 3, yet soccer is the only sport/business which has taken a back step from phase 2 to phase 3.

You are only allowed 1 - 11v11 team on a field at any given time. FOH Mike.

That’s not the problem really.
The problem is what that one team is allowed to do in this first step of phase 3.... which is individual drills, no contact whatsoever... and that is just plain stupid and shows our leader’s lack of understanding of the game and of what is already happening outside of the soccer environment (pool parties, beach gatherings, sleepovers, ice cream socials, etc)

Here it comes...

Charlie Baker blew up the opening advisory board and put DPH head Monica Bharel in charge. She is recommending ALL youth sports cancelled until Jan. 15 2021!

Call your state rep. your state senator, and of course Charlie Baker's office. I know there's a petition out there but those do nothing. CALLING them does.

If you're a Karen spreading fear, then stay the hell away from kids. If you're a teacher, healthy, and under 65 living in fear? Find a new job. You probably suck as a teacher anyway.

If this comes to fruition, club teams, especially in NH, are going to make a killing going into the Fall.

every single other state that has published guidelines has classified soccer as "medium risk"

new york
new jersey
CT
MN
Michigan
NH
RI

just to name a few

every single person on this board should be emailing / calling their state rep and governor's office asking what the justification for MA having a different classification of soccer. we just want it treated the same as every other state
