Dear Southside Youth Soccer members,

Please read the below statement from the Louisiana Soccer Association;

MESSAGE FROM LSA

On March 16th we suspended all LSA-related activities until April 13th with the caveat that an extension of that suspension may likely be needed.  Since that time,

• Louisiana Governor, John Bel Edwards, issued a state-wide Stay At Home order and plans to issue an additional Proclamation extending that order through April 30.
• the number of those infected with the virus tragically continues to rise exponentially and Louisiana has become widely recognized as a global hotspot for the virus.
• US Youth Soccer has extended its nation-wide suspension of play through May 1st and has cancelled the National Presidents Cup and National Championships and all of the regional events leading up to them.
• Both the State of Louisiana and US Youth Soccer have indicated the possibility that these dates may be adjusted.

LSA has, therefore, extended the suspension of LSA-related activities through May 1st.

We fully understand the health and financial impact COVID-19 has and will continue to have on our soccer families. We also understand that extending our state tournament schedule poses countless other issues. Yet our focus remains on trying to provide events that will help bring our soccer community back together and to give our youth players a rewarding tournament experience.

Extent of the Suspension

Again, this is a comprehensive ban on ALL activities and events (e.g. practices of any kind, scrimmages, friendlies, games and tournaments) at all levels of play (e.g. recreational, Academy and Classic). The suspension includes travel to tournaments out of state. While another state may not pose a threat to our players and their families, we may pose a threat to others. Stay at home.
