Bayside Summer Classic

[Unregistered]

I've lost track of all the various COVID restrictions, and surprise, the state's website(s) are less than helpful. What are we allowed to do/not do now, and when is that supposed to change? If MA decides RI safe(ish) again, for example, are there restrictions (in writing) that don't allow RI teams from leaving the state to play?

Labor Day seems to be the date most are looking towards starting up practices and scrimmages in club. Mid Sept is when the clubs are aiming for the first games but need final permission from MA. We should be good with MA and into phase 4 by Aug 29. As of last week we were told our RI players on NEFC could not practice in MA. We are hoping this changes by mid-week next week. It will come together over the next few weeks and we need to be patient although the Cancel Culture wants to cancel our town travel league and only offer rec which would be a mistake for those competitive players. Other town competitive teams already practicing and finalized rosters. Out town is being ridiculous.

New York just removed RI from their restricted list today, so MA is probably not far behind. Gotta let all those rich voters with summer homes in RI back into the state.

"restrictions (in writing) that don't allow RI teams from leaving the state to play?"

Sounds like Berlin Wall type of stuff. WE are free to leave

Thanks for the sanity check, that’s kind of what I was thinking. But there’s another team parent who is adamant that we aren’t allowed to do that. I stopped short of a “This is America, dammit!”

Feel free to leave RI. If you are going into MA and not just passing through on your way to somewhere else or working in MA while living in RI, you need a negative Covid test within 72 hours prior to entering MA or you need to quarantine for 2 weeks in MA.

Those are currently the rules and the exceptions for RI residents entering MA. If you are caught without those exceptions, without a Covid test, and not quarantining, it's a $500/day fine.

Free country, but only if you can afford it.

The current restrictions are teams must practice and play in RI, CT, NY but not in MA although some clubs claimed they can practice in MA... who knows. Baker expected to lift the ban in a week but he’s power hungry and likes to push Gina down. So a tournament has to happen in RI but now the second problem we have to be in phase4 for soccer tournaments which won’t be until mid Sept. clubs will be playing then and hoping for the towns. I don’t see when bayside could squeeze in a tournament until thanksgiving week.

It's too bad Bayside sounds so scared to play against Surf teams. If you don't think your teams will lose, then why won't you let Surf compete against you??

Looks like there will be a few Bayside vs RI Surf games at the Seacoast Labor Day tournament.

Funny, the kids don't care about this nearly as much as the parents. But unfortunately some of the parents will be on their usual behavior.

I hope the parents on both sides can get a grip. Act like adults! Whoever wins or loses means nothing about whether your player should be in one group or another! Which coach is better, etc! Good grief!

um... newsflash, kids AND parents don't care about this. This is a coach issue - parents just want to see some games and kids just want to play.

After seacosts Labor Day tournament All you dumb dumbs at RI Surf are leaving N.H. with your tail between your legs.

So you do know nothing is normal right now? Lots of new teams gelling, other kids getting back into shape, new coaches, and going from small sided practices and agility to suddenly playing full field. Give each other a break. No need to boast or put down let’s just give the kids soccer. Lucky to have NH because RI and MA rules suck right now.
I hope Bayside classic tournament happens this fall, Thanksgiving weekend would be a lot of fun since Columbus Day already booking up.
