[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reputable?  Assuming you intended to mean a good reputation, it is clearly not well deserved.  No coach with a good sense of priorities would be defying the law.  Setting aside the danger of transmission, the messages the coach (and the parent) communicates to the kid are (1) the rules are for others to follow, not  us, and (2) getting better at this game is so important that it’s worth the risk of infection.

+1.    And no parent should be bragging that they allowed their child to participate.  [/quote]

I am bragging about it.  Why do you think neither the school security nor the police enforce the law?

The number of covid-19 cases in VA is still going up and not enough testing, and yet, they open the athletic today.  What change between last week and this week?

Are you proud about sending your kid out to practice during the height of a pandemic?  Proud that back in March when the entire country was being asked to stay at home, you sent your kid out on a regular basis to practice?  Proud that you taught your kid that rules don’t apply to him and that he doesn’t need to listen to government orders?

Really, you have nothing to brag about.  But I’m sure you will.[/quote]

My concern is that these kinds of parents will make their kids play through pain and hurt themselves more.  In addition, the parents seem to have more invested than perhaps their kid.

Looking back in 20-30 years it’s going to make grandpa/grandma look so out of touch.  While everyone else was staying home, we were hitting the field hard.  Har-had-har. [/quote]
