Obeying COVID Protocols at Tournaments?

Is that every tournament or just that particular one?

My HS son played in a tournament in PA last weekend and they did face-offs after every goal.

My MS girl played in MD and they did not do draws.

Both tournaments allowed ground ball scrums.

It is irresponsible for clubs to be going to tournaments.

What if we all sign a waiver promising to vote Democrat in November and support socialism? Then will you let my kid play lacrosse? Please?

I am really happy for you that a mask doesn't bother you. You are fortunate. I wear one religiously when Im out and about but I hate it. For me its very hot, itchy and uncomfortable. I have tried paper, mixed fabrics, all cotton and neoprene, they all suck and make me sweat and feel suffocated. I force myself to deal (wear one) but limit going anywhere because a mask makes me so miserable. Yes, wearing masks in the present circumstances is crucial but don't diminish the fact that everyone has different physical reactions to it. I will wear it at these tournaments but the minute I am away from other folks I will remove it. I think its a little silly to require a mask outside but I'm assuming the mass numbers of people does make it necessary.

Sounds like you are doing this right. Thanks for thinking of others.

Just got back from Young Gunz. Compliance was pretty good. Masks and distancing. “No team tents” was really painful because it was brutally hot.

It's not politics, it's health and science.
So many of you cry "socialism" until you or someone close to you gets this disease.

You're right. The *entire* world is in on the hoax just so Democrats can win in November. LOL

We were at the Madlax Capital Classic this weekend. 10-15% of parents were wearing masks. The teenager taking forehead temps on the way onto the field was not wearing a mask.

If true, this just speaks to Cabell's operation. In stark contrast, at Young Gunz, I personally watch King Crab himself not only get after spectators not wearing masks, but then also handing them out to enforce compliance, but also enforce the one spectator per family. And then at Mid Atlantic, Chris Robinson was pretty good at it too, catching people coming from the parking lots to the fields to enforce masks. Pleasantly surprised.

Please, one of the teams with few parents wearing masks at MidAtlantic were the M&D parents, Chris Robinson’s own club.

I can’t believe we’re facing 100% online school in September, and there are sports tournaments happening right now. It’s absolutely insane.

Hey, it was outside and 98 degrees. Bigger issue was all the folks stacked together in the woods, taking in shade.

Well, it’s a good thing everyone knows your opinion about this is neither valid nor influential. Who cares whether you “think it’s a little silly?” Your opinion about this is inconsequential so no need to share it anymore. Thanks.
