And now I& #39;m in a media zoom call with the Reign to talk to Lu Barnes and Bill Predmore about the Challenge Cup #NWSL
Predmore said that the team is moving to small group training in Thurston County, which is now in Washington state& #39;s phase 2, but they can only do max 5 players (instead of 8) per state rules https://www.theolympian.com/news/coronavirus/article243026721.html">https://www.theolympian.com/news/coro...
Predmore reiterates what Baird said on the #NWSL con call about developing a sense of community responsibility to keep everyone in the athlete village according to their medical protocols, as opposed to punitive measures (fines, disqualification, etc.)
Predmore: Washington state doesn& #39;t look likely to allow full team training in any county, so Reign may depart this weekend for Utah and start training there (presumbly after going through #NWSL& #39;s travel protocol, testing before and after travel)
Predmore: thinks next week final #NWSL tournament rules will go out, min roster size is 22 and max is 28 (including up to 4 supplemental players), he expects Reign will be close to 28 by the roster freeze date June 21, they& #39;ll have trialists with them who could earn a spot
Predmore: #NWSL will put together charter flights for some teams, Dell Loy Hansen has private planes and has offered to transport players to Utah. (once again, subject to league& #39;s protocols for testing before and after travel)
Predmore: Reign will unveil new home and away kits some time before June 27. It has been more complicated from product perspective given pandemic, so kits are slower to arrive. #NWSL
