[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our swim league (MD) had a meeting with our team reps last night. We haven't canceled the season yet, but we are going to meet again in a few weeks once additional information is available from state/local authorities. What options are being considered for NVSL?  [/quote]

Everything and anything although they are pretty much set on no normal season. Virtual “postal” meets, a reduced season if they can get it in during July, pretty much a bunch of options depending on what happens. They may have a better idea after Governor Northman’s press conference on Monday. There is some thought (rumor?) he may mix all youth sports for the summer, but we will see. Other than that they could see what into comes out between now and Memorial Day.[/quote]

Guessing mix is autocorrect for nix.  That would seem unfair, why punish the kids?[/quote]

How are these decisions interpreted as punishing kids?[/quote]

Well presumably non-essential business will be open so you can get your hair and nails done. But kids are not allowed to take part in sport.[/quote]

You can't see the difference?  You can have someone getting nails and hair done with no one on either side of the patron/provider.  You can't do a team sports without a...well...team.  Non-essential businesses can operate without crowding.  Most teams, esp. a swim team, cannot do that.  A diving team could probably do that.  A basketball could do some drills with distance between players.  Swim team has a limited space for starts, limited space on either end of the pool where kids rest and wait to swim again and limited space in the lanes.[/quote]

Where did I say anything about swim team?   My comment was regarding Northam cancelling all youth summer sports. [/quote]
