Got a notice today that our GSPL league games vs Louisiana teams have been postponed due to travel restrictions. How did club soccer get lumped into the COVID restrictions? Referee unions have prevented games over here in MS, but that’s soon to be lifted...now we don’t have anyone to play.

BRSC, MSC, and Fire are the clubs they’ll, hopefully, play...whenever y’all get it together over there.

Be terrible if they’re not allowing practice for school or clubs.

From what we've heard for Fire, things are postponed until phase 4. No telling when that will be.

If travel ball has been going on for months, why wouldn't soccer?

MSC is practicing but is not really soccer practice. Physical distanced with lots of conditioning and practice is limited to an hour.

We all hope they can actually play, but it's looking less and less likely.

there's really no rationalization. The LSA simply adopted arbitrary benchmarks that happen to coincide with the state's phases.

The clubs are basically screwed unless and until they convince the LSA to open up. I do know that the clubs have less registered than last year. That's a financial hit. That will continue the longer this drags on.

LSA adopted a bunch of guidelines that are far more restrictive than even the governor's proclamations. US Club soccer teams are full go with minimal restrictions. They are playing in games and tournaments in neighboring states while LSA and its affiliated clubs are having hissy fits.

With the LSA guidelines preventing LSA-sanctioned clubs from playing, you'll have better luck reaching out to US Club Soccer sanctioned-only clubs from LA to set up friendlies.

I'm thinking that LSA doesn't play LCSL until the spring. LSA has been very cautious so far. Not sure if they are following the lead of USYS or what, but it is what it is.

LSA is going to drag this out forever. Orlando is about to have a lot more people interested in his new organization, the Gulf South Texans.

We got the tentative schedule today for the Fall...all games are in MS on our schedule.

BRSC, FIRE, and ‘Cajuns’ are all registered. That is good news.
