Commissioner Ron Nocetti says possible violation of state guidelines for youth sports is a concern
SACRAMENTO -- CIF State commissioner Ron Nocetti said recently that an organization that started a club football league in Southern California is violating the state’s youth sports guidelines. Nocetti was responding to a report made by a news outlet in Palm Springs that claimed the CIF has “given their blessing” for athletes to take part in the league, which was started by Corona-based Winner Circle Athletics.According to the state’s youth guidelines that the California Department of Public Health announced in August, competitions are not permitted due to the coronavirus pandemic. High schools were told last week that they should not expect new guidelines until after Jan. 1.[
