[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It amazes me that so many people don't seem interested in erring on the side of caution. [/quote]

What amazes me, when there are several extremely well reasoned posts above, is why people like the PP do not understand how much thought most people put into these decisions. You might want to stay in, have no contact with anyone, and stay as safe as possible. Please do.

Others recognize that while safety is important, there are consequences for continuing to isolate developing young minds and bodies and to deprive them from healthy activities they love. Some kids might be able to easily transition away from their sports to running, walking or kicking the ball outside, but others thrive on the social, emotional, and physical benefits of playing team sports. They were shut in and locked down for three months. An active lifestyle is all about momentum, making it easy to settle into a sedentary lifestyle. Returning to sport  benefits kids socially, physically, and emotionally, and those benefits, for the right child, are worth the risk. I wouldn't put my 6 year old who has never played soccer into organized sport during this time, but for kids who have played for years, their sport is a part of who they are.

If I have to choose between the COVID risk of outdoor soccer and the potential that I'm setting my teenage daughter up for a lifetime of body image issues because I'm nagging her to exercise and she knows she is putting on weight while she is away from her sport, I choose soccer.
