MCSL is go.

Virtual dual meets is what I understand.

Presumably B meets would be replaced by team only meets,

The main part:


Happy 2021 to our NVSL teams, families and sponsors. Many of you have reached out to us over the past several weeks to ask about the status of the upcoming season. We are moving forward with plans for a season. The board is meeting regularly, the seeding committee is hard at work, and we will welcome our team reps to the annual seeding meeting on March 14th.



This is a fluid situation and we are closely monitoring the state and local health guidelines that govern youth sports. These guidelines will help us determine the type of season we are able to have. Our newly formed Return to Competition committee, which is made up of team reps, coaches, division coordinators and board members, will meet regularly throughout the spring to determine how we can hold meets safely this summer. We ask for your patience while we work on the details. We will share more information about the season in the weeks ahead and as guidelines change and decisions are made.

Is this still flexible? If things improve, will they consider holding real meets? PVS is holding championship meets in March, so it must be possible.

This is promising!!!

I really hope the VDH doesn’t come out with some crazy guidelines again or someone is willing to be more specific about outdoor pool use.

Yes, let’s hope. It was crazy that the VDH lumped indoor and outdoor pools under the same rules last spring/summer. They really wrote the guidance for places like gyms and rec centers. Through phase 2 even family members were supposed to maintain at least 10’ in the water and pool use was restricted to guided instruction or exercise.

I’m sure they’re right up there with golf pros in the priority list. The real question is what will happen to pools that depend on outsourced Eastern European guards

Hire local guards.

NVSL could possibly do 1 timer for A meets. Teams could swim head to head at the same pool but would only “bring” those swimmers in the meet (approximately 65-75 range). Just initial framework being discussed.

B meets are not NVSL meets so the B meet “leagues” would handle those.

Those VDH phase 3 guidelines are still in effect. If you want to see a change, don't count on VDH doing the right thing- write to your state delegate. Keep up the pressure.

I think they are good to lifeguard the same this year. It was ridiculous that any of us had to wear masks outside while at the pool.

That is a pretty bad brag about your child and your parenting skills. And, this is why covid is as bad as it is and why swimming is limited. Thanks!

Two years ago they had trouble with local guards because a lot of kids have no need to work (mom and dad don't make them). They would rather sit on the sofa. In addition, there are issues with local families not being too kind or ignoring the local guards. Also ridiculous.

Yes. https://www.wsls.com/sports/2021/02/17/up-to-250-spectators-will-be-able-to-watch-virginia-high-school-football-games-this-season/

Social distancing could be the tricky part.
