See it isn't the students! It's interlopers from the community at large! Probably antifa!
It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

I find it impossible to judge these kids too harshly. I really can't say that 19 year old me would be able to follow the rules while living at school.
Oh, I know for sure 19 year old me wouldn't be able to follow the rules. My contempt is more for the School administrators who are trying to proceed like business-as-usual.Pruitt wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 7:19 amI find it impossible to judge these kids too harshly.

Because you know damn well, that the safety of the students is nowhere near the top of their list of priorities.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 7:33 amOh, I know for sure 19 year old me wouldn't be able to follow the rules.

Hopefully you don't have any more coaches telling opposing teams your fields are hotbeds for viral infections. [3 years ago when I was coaching, we played in Flaco's town. Opposing coach warned us that their turf field was causing viral infections. My co-coach told one player's father as a joke, and he freaked out and refused to show for the game, and didn't have the decency to tell us he wasn't coming].elflaco2 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 7:33 am Alrightie... season starts tomorrow (but none of our teams play until sunday) held last pre-season meeting.. confirmed all teams are registered, all players are registered, all have cards.. we distributed safety packages for all coaches (masks, gloves and whatnot), have finalized game day protocols to distribute to away teams... somehow managed to use every bit of available space in town so we could limit the number of teams training on any given night... but the best part is seeing how the new board members all stepped up and did what was needed to get us off the ground while the folks working themselves out of their roles as their kids age out took a back seat...now to hope we keep town's record and not have any exposures or cases (three weeks+ running) for the next ten weeks... the boy is training with his new club as of this week, and HS tryouts (for a team that doesn't have cuts) start monday.. oh and the gym at the Y is open, by appointment.. limiting to 11 people in a space that fit 100.. and time in between appts for disinfecting.. hoping to get time in the weight room (failed at finding more weights for home) althought some how i've lost 9lbs since march.
Wait, they wanted to alter a birth certificate so the kid could play in a younger age group? That's insane!elflaco2 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 11:42 am ja!
that guy took his daughter and several others to Valencia. good riddance. Its a turf field, about as hygienic as the next one.
no, actually pretty happy w the current crop of coaches and board members. only have one real problem coaching team.. the assistant has been bugging me to convince the league to let a kid play down... he went as far as calling NJYS and USYS after i told him the league wouldn't allow it. who knows what he told the parents.. they knew the kid couldn't play... at one point he mentioned uploading a new bc to show a different birth year.. had an ex-board member reach out to me saying she could it easily..initially i said i didn't want to know anything about it.. two hours later once i had time to think about it (he called me middle of workday)... i told him NO. not going to allow it.. last night when he was telling me about USYS... he said they told him to do a new bc... btw, the hc has no idea about this and the parents are pissed i wouldn't allow it.
its. fucking.travel.soccer. the kid can play in the spring when we add hs age teams (which will be made up of the kid's all team all of whom moved up to the hs)
fucking losers. want to cheat and make exceptions because they're so fucking special. where's the integrity? so everybody does it, so that's ok?
Trump has definitely bungled up shit to a huge degree, but it's also fair to say this country never stood a great chance of being able to keep COVID under serious control as stupid as most of the people in this country are. Like, people try to pin 175K of the deaths on Trump and that's number's probably closer to 100K.rass wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:41 pm One of the towns that has a contract with the health department my wife works for had an 8th grader test positive earlier this week.

If we had the same per capita death rate as Canada, which is maybe the absolute best case scenario, there’d have been about 135K fewer deaths to date. So your estimate that Trump’s mistakes are maybe responsible for 100K excess deaths seems reasonable to me.brian wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:44 pmTrump has definitely bungled up shit to a huge degree, but it's also fair to say this country never stood a great chance of being able to keep COVID under serious control as stupid as most of the people in this country are.

On Tuesday, the California Health and Human Services agency provided guidelines for fans to attend in-person professional sporting events, which the county of Santa Clara quickly and forcefully shot down.
The guidelines, detailed by state Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly, are at the moment only relevant to two NorCal teams: the San Francisco 49ers and San Jose Earthquakes. The Niners and Earthquakes play in Santa Clara, a county in the "moderate" range of COVID-19 spread, according to the state's tiered reopening plan. Based on that designation, the 49ers' Levi's Stadium would be allowed to attain 20% capacity, or roughly 13,000 fans. If Santa Clara County reaches the "minimal" designation of COVID-19 cases, then the stadium could increase to 25% capacity.
But in an ensuing press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Santa Clara County Executive Dr. Jeff Smith blasted the idea of in-person spectators. "It makes no sense whatsoever to have audiences at stadiums, particularly when there is a model to do it without audiences in a much safer way so that the only individuals who'd be put at risk are players, the refs, and their families [who are] getting constant tests," Smith said. "Putting an audience in a stadium in large groups is just asking for trouble. It's like a Petri dish."
Smith was not swayed by a list of restrictions the state promises it will impose on spectators, including ticket sales only for customers within a 120-mile radius, eating and drinking in assigned seats only, mandatory face coverings except while eating and drinking, and no tailgating. He said the 120-mile rule means Californians in other areas currently experiencing COVID-19 spikes could head to football and soccer games, and that all attendees will be using the same entrances, bathrooms, and concessions stands, which could easily trigger a superspreader event.

Sorry about that that text rass, but my infatuation with William H. Macy knows no bounds and I know you're with me on that.rass wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 6:23 am I mentioned in another thread that the girls soccer team at the HS in town is currently quarantined, and that the freshman on that team make up a good chunk of my oldest kid's travel soccer team. We're still close with a bunch of families on the team, and someone sent us a screenshot of a screenshot that someone posted to the team's Team Snap chat yesterday. It appears to be an email from a doctor revealing their daughter's negative CV19 test result, which is probably oversharing as-is. But they must have received a text just as they took the screenshot and didn't notice when they posted. The text read as follows:

In a similar boat here. When my old firm decided to stop paying for my pair of seats, I started sharing my season tickets with 5 other guys, and am essentially the named STM and the admin of the plan. I'm on the pay per month plan with the team, and have now paid 1/2 of "next season's" tickets, which are still priced at the full cost as if there will be a 41 game slate of home games. There may have been some discussion of opting out for a season, but I don't remember it.sancarlos wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 2:30 pm So, the NHL wants to start their next regular season Jan 1, 2020. They were saying Dec 1, 2020, but that now looks unlikely. Stay tuned. And, unlike other major sports, the NHL doesn't have a lucrative television contract, so they depend on butts in the seats to a greater extent than the others. But, unlike football and baseball, they play indoors, which creates a greater coronavirus risk. So, what is the league to do?
Segue to... I have been part of a San Jose Sharks' season ticket group for over twenty years - since the team was founded. After the founders of our group moved on, I became our group's administrator. We had to commit to our 2020-2021 tickets way back in February, before Covid was an issue. We paid 1/3 of our ticket cost before they froze things to figure out what's going on next season. So, I received an email from the team recently, advertising the next season, and the team's hope that they'll start playing sooner rather than later. But, the big news was that the Sharks told us we have the option of opting out of our ticket commitment for the 2020-2021 season, and then come back in with our same seats for the 2021-2022 season. (The idea being that enough people will opt out for one season, so they can hopefully have adequate social distancing in the stands for the people who don't opt out this coming season.) Of course, the team will hold the money we've already paid on account.
So, now I have to herd all the cats in the group to get some kind of a consensus on whether we are in or out this season. I can see good reasons for either decision, but personally I'm voting we opt out and avoid the near-term Covid risk (and avoid a possibly very weak Sharks' season - but that's another discussion.) And, hopefully, life will be more normal in the 2021-2022 season.
