Safety of soccer and football fields

[Anonymous]

Does anyone else have safety concerns about this - the field goal posts that are used for football is connected to the surface of the field, and on two occasions, I have seen a player get bumped or slide into the post and have his or her leg caught under the post. Neither kid that I saw got hurt in any serious way, but it is possible. On both occasions, a parent spectator had to pull the goal post off the kids to get free.

Unless this happened on a tennis court I'm not interested.

Were these the same kids who got their legs stuck under the fence as well?

I'm very concerned that they have to cross the track to get onto the field. I mean all of those people racing around the track...it's so dangerous .

How do you get your leg stuck under a post that goes into the ground?

Was the post wearing a mask? If not we've got bigger problems......

Only if this happens at BRYC will parents complain.
Alexandria will take over the fields no matter what sport.
Loudoun will take a loan out to fix it but actually increase the fees so the parents pay for it
Mclean will be oblivious because they live in Mclean.
Any MD team won't get hurt because they are not sure if they are permitted to play.

I'm wondering if anyone has thought about kids sliding and getting stuck under the turf? It seems like this could be a huge safety issue itself.

First a tennis fence and now a football goal post.

The soccer goal is in front of the goal post so I don’t understand how a player can collide with the goal post? This might happen in a football game but not soccer.

Some people are so against soccer. In 2019, some people in Rockville were fighting hard and also file a lawsuit to prevent MoCo/MCPS/Rockville from constructing a turf field at Julius West MS. They lost of course.
