Thank you all for the comments re MSI. Makes sense!
OP I agree I think masks outside during soccer are overkill and have the potential to do more harm than good. That said, it's not the hill I am going to die on. Its more important to me for my kid to play with her friends and have a fun season that doesn't get disrupted by whipsawing policies than anything else. Because of Covid, soccer is not only her physical outlet but really her only social outlet as well. If she's working hard, learning and having fun, the rest is gravy in my mind for this year.
OP here again. Agree completely. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to create a sense of normalcy with all of these extracurriculars that I will not be putting up a big stink about anything......but I do wish they could play without the masks

I don't see why they would change their rules and I respect the organization for taking this approach.
I am not aggressively pro-masking or anti-masking when it comes to kids outdoor sports. I have a DC who plays a different sport with no masks and I'm okay with that.
But many of my child's friends would no longer participate in MSI if they changed their rules mid-season. They made their risk calculation based on every person having masks and it would be unethical for MSI to change in the middle and it's best to take the more conservative approach.
Masking is not hurting anyone. Not masking could hurt lots of people.
+1000. MSI is very classy club.
Note that this only applies for MSI’s Recreation and Classic Leagues. Their travel teams follow the EDP or NCSL League rules depending upon the league a particular MSI team plays in.

Are you answering the wrong question? Kids are playing outside, but with masks on. OP is asking why MSI isn't changing the mask rule since Moco has changed its overall stance.

Because numerous health experts say masks work and they want to minimize any risk of transmission. What kind of question is this?
