So, if the cup games get snowed out, what date are we looking at for the 1st round?

Hearing league will cancel and move them ALL to April 7/8.

Likely that Individual teams may then look to reschedule from there as clearly there will be teams impacted by player families with scheduled vacations.

Seems to make more sense in my opinion to move them to first league week of April 14/15 (when everyone was anticipating to play soccer, not vacation) and move that first league week to now be last week of season, in late June, or of course rescheduled for an off day or weeknight.

Thoughts?

Guess we will find out sometime Thursday if its play as scheduled or some reschedule scenario. Good Luck to ALL.

I agree that teams will have issues with vacations on 7th and 8th. I know my team will have issues. I will definitely request to move mine. I understand the logic but teams with kids on vacation will impact a good handful of teams.

this was the problem in moving away from the St Patricks day start. We all know the recent springs have been tough but now league games will be played after school lets out in June. Week 10 will be missing tons of kids. Weather would have allowed all games to play last weekend. April 13th will be the first game for most teams. That is the latest I can ever remember

Wrong. Hardly any grass fields, school fields and field complexes would have been ready with lines and field markings let alone entirely cleared of snow, safe to play on as we have had (4) march snowstorms (4th right now starting). I think it would have been easier to plan to start in April rather then fool yourselves that full scale recreational soccer ready to go in march.

Look outside .... hello?

Heard some Cup, NPL & EDP games actually had to even be moved last weekend off some scheduled turf fields that weren’t yet clear and safe with snow and Ice remaining in sidelines and corners, same thing happened with some of the march tourneys.

I agree, my boys are ready to play. Have had few outdoor turf practices and scrimmage but we are lucky to have flexibility and many choices along with good neighboring clubs.

Looking forward to April Soccer

If this weekend is canceled LI Cup would be moved to April 14th/15th and week 1 of the season would be moved to June 23rd/24th.

Amy idea when the decision would be made?

Thursday, might not hear until Friday

If the fields still aren't playable next week the games will get pushed back to the June 30/July 1 weekend.

There are no games next week, or the week after, due to Easter/Spring break. The LI Cup was moved to be 3 weeks from now on April 14th/15th.
