Apparently soccer teams are no longer allowed to travel out of state to play, which is completely ridiculous. Massachusetts is on the verge of being added to every New England state's high risk list but WE can't go to NH because it is against OUR rules? Does that make any sense?

Please attach the link. I’m not seeing anything about teams not leaving the state for games.
So MA not too affected we have many good clubs and tournaments in MA just stupid rules. But RI will be screwed if their teams can’t leave the state. Barely May clubs there. Anyway besides a few tournaments this doesn’t affect NEP or NPL until spring season resumes and by then hopefully we are in a better place.Comment

"Furthermore, any Massachusetts-based team that chooses to leave the stateOriginally posted by Unregistered View Post
to participate in a Sport Event or any Facility Owner or Activity Organizer that
hosts an out-of-state team at a Massachusetts facility or allows an out-of-state
player to participate on a Massachusetts-based team risks facility closure or
suspension of a league’s practices and/or games."

Ah! What happens to MA-based ECNL teams now?Comment

It effects ALL teams, MLS, EDP etc. You'll be training all winter unless your clubs have the balls to schedule some friendlies against one another.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

But all kidding aside, the biggest news is that soccer is still on, nothing stops MA teams from playing through the winter both indoors and outdoors, as long as within our state boarders.Comment

We are in for a “dark winter” - so says our newly elected president. Please for those who voted for him don’t complain - he warned us and yet he was still elected. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Don’t stress on TS. Soccer is happening. The rules of this week will continue to change, tighten, relax, tighten, relax over the next few months. We all knew winter was going to be a toss up in terms of games, scrimmages, etc. it’s also ok to take the season off and give your kids a break for a couple months. We will survive. Just keep your kids in shape or they will be sloooooowww back on the pitch in March. As for travel I’m hearing MA teams with out of state players are continued to keep practicing together. They are even attending “tournaments” they just can’t play in. NEP / NPL games during the next month. But that’s temporary so don’t even stress out on that rule if your player is coming to MA practice from NH, CT, or RI. Go to practice. Go to tournaments just have to wait on NEP games until spring no biggie since seasons are wrapping up.Comment
