Based on what you know, would you let your son or daughter play in a lacrosse game?

Thats it. Really stinks for the 21s still left but there's just not a meaningful mechanism.

I disagree. I think coaches will create the "meaningful mechanism." There are two primary reasons. 1) Many coaches, D1 to D3, still have spots on their rosters that they need to fill and they likely will be losing some commits because of family economic reasons. 2) Most coaches lost significant revenue from recruiting camps they had planned and they will want to make that up.

There where 400 plus 21 verbal commits before the corona virus hit the USA.

And??? I think the number from one of the posts above is that there may still be 25+% spots still uncommitted on D1. That sounds reasonable to me and my history watching recruiting over the past 5-10 years. And the field is pretty wide open for D3.

I don't know a single coach who will turn down the opportunity to host or attend a camp. There is too much money for them to make off of the camp draw and they have spots open. They would be dumb not to look at every opportunity they've got. And most of these coaches are not dumb...

A 21 verbal commit. That's funny.

NP here. Why is that funny? That's exactly where the 21s are now.

A verbal commit can be retracted at any point by coach or player.

True and a player can just stop playing at any point in the career including college but most end up playing at the school they verbally commit to. The point was that 400 players in the 2021 class had committed. However that is far from most players in the class so a significant amount of recruiting will still take place for this class. Air-force for example currently has 18 committed players in the 2021 class that is high. Leymone only has one and they have a very strong program and Cabrini only has one and they are still defending champions.

According to the NCAA there are 14603 NCAA lacrosse participants.

Girls are a lot more vulnerable than boys. My concern is primarily the airborne nature of the virus. The helmets the boys wear will at least provide some air disruption around their faces. Running hard / breathing hard will increase the chance of the spread of the virus from asymptomatic players. This will occur quite easily because there is a lot of close play in lax as we all know and observe at every practice and game.

Even though kids on the teams are usually outstanding athletes and in great health condition, so the virus is not quite as deadly dangerous to them, there are players with unknown underlying health conditions. It would be heartbreaking if practicing or playing in a game caused them to catch the virus and die.

I disagree.

First, no proof helmets disrupt the airflow..actually that sounds kind of ridiculous.

Second, boys wear gear like gloves, pads, helmets which are exposed during play. With all the contact, these items will need to be sanitized each and every time they play...I doubt people will adhere.

Third, girls lacrosse is not nearly as aggressive as boys, so less contact.

Girls and boys are equally vulnerable.

First, it's actually ridiculous you think it's ridiculous. You don't have to be an aerodynamics engineer to figure out a 5 lb object covering appx 80% of a surface area doesn't disrupt airflow.

Second, if you are a parent not washing your kid's gear regularly then you should look in the mirror. That awful smell coming out of the gear bag is a clue. How about just keeping a spray bottle of tilex with bleach handy.

And to the pp, in the state of MD there are no deaths attributed to those under the age of 18 so it's not that it's not as dangerous, it's statistically not dangerous. And that's not only in MD but across the country.

If you are so worried about the chance of someone playing or practicing or living in the world and dying from contraction, you should safely stay inside until a vaccine becomes available at your neighborhood CVS.

So much anger? The quarantine clearly has effected your psyche.

Everyone knows people don't sterilize gear after each and every practice and game. Yes, this will need to change. But to definitively state that girls are at more risk than boys is, as I said, RIDICULOUS.

Our college coach said they will not recruit any more 21's, they will honor verbals, and they have started cutting current kids as the add kids from the portal (which has been brutal).

All the academies over recruit since $$$ is not an issue. No cap on scholarships.

Neither girls or boys are statistically at risk. Here's the link to age related deaths in MD https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/

I am so glad you asked. The current overall infection rate is about 1.0 This means an infected person might pass on the infection to 1 other person IF
the 2 people are in close contact for more than 10 minutes continuously
AND
the infected person forcibly dispels the virus while in close contact
AND
the other person takes the virus into their internal system

About 1800 kids under the age of 18 have tested positive. Most likely, the number is closer to 10k at this point from other studies done across the country. But given the necessary conditions of time and distance to spread the infection and the overwhelming number of deaths occurring in nursing and assisted living situations, I'd say they have probably cross infected a very small number of people.

I get it, you are scared. Please stay home and let the rest of us go back to work and lead our lives.
