I'm helping our baseball team to follow the COVID protocols.
And I understand that some teams in the Northern VA league were suspended for not following. Do you know of any teams that were suspended? And if so, do you know what was the offending behavior? Just trying to get a sense as to whether they are being more strict about players and what they are doing. Or about how coaches are interacting with players (masks, distance, no-high-fives). Or other.... |

| I've heard that a big issues is distancing between parents. They must be 10 feet apart. The county is randomly driving by and checking. |

| Do we know how many teams? |

| OP — Maybe without being too specific, could you give us a clue how you found out about this rumor I believe it, but want to track it down. I haven’t seen anything on the website. |

| I think our team has been very good about distancing and safety regulations. Some teams we’ve played... not so much. But that’s probably how everyone feels, I guess. Which is the problem. |

I’m the pp — yes, some are good, some it’s hardly different. |

OP here. I received an email, from NVTBL saying that they issued warnings (and are monitoring specific teams) and/or have banned teams. The email implies that a team(s) has been banned, but they didn't come out and say. (I'm on the list, bc I'm responsible for supporting our teams compliance).
It makes sense that the violation would be parents. But if I were to guess, the ones that they are giving warnings about are kids not properly spaced in dugout, coaches not following spacing protocol when meeting with the teams. But there are many things to pay attention to, and I was just trying to determine where to focus. It would also make sense, that if the county is the one concerned, they would be citing violations for parents not keeping distance from each other. |

| I see photos of baseball kids on top of each other all the time. All summer. |

| Our parents and players have done pretty well this summer. Now that the fall has started, we’ve been warned by LL they are also watching and will take away field privileges if they see violations. No word yet on which 7 teams received warnings or have been banned by NVTBL. |

Space the kids and the parents! 10 feet apart for all. The "dugout" should be the entire line from home plate to the 1st/3rd base and each kid should bring a chair.
The league and county health officials ARE making impromptu visits to fields. Please tell your parents to comply and don't ruin the season for all of us!! |

I’m very curious about what teams got cited. NVTBL should have had its own independent monitors out there not teams self policing. Some tryouts this summer were not great at best. People will be smug until they get cited, and ruin it for others.
In case anyone is interested, here is what NVTBL says: https://www.nvtblbaseball.org/ As a point of reference: - poles along fences are roughly 10ft apart - standard tents are 10x10 |

Call and email your elected representatives to relax the restrictions and send our kids back to school and back to activities. |

NP - You sound like a stereotypical jock parent, the type that would say, it’s just a concussion, let the kid play. Suck it up, kid. |

And you sound like a wimp. Over 1300 different lawsuits have been filed across the country regarding the over-extension of government's powers in restricting our freedoms. You may want to live in a communist society where elected officials ignore the law but I don't. MD had set up protocols for easing restrictions but they ignore them to whatever degree they decide. When will it end? Take a look around you nerd and wake up. |
