You realize HS teams have been playing, right?

You will be able to find a league if u really want to play, but there won’t be anything happening in FCPS gyms


DD just came back from practice at an FCPS ES gym

Yes, the basketball season is happening independent of whatever the School Board does, thankfully.

Incorrect. Permits have been issued for the season and leagues have paid fees to Fairfax.

Their protocols say masks are required for coaches at practices, but nothing about the kids. In their game section, it says all coaches must be masked as well as players on the bench, so I assume players on the court are allowed to be unmasked.


That won't last. FCPS will shut them down. They are inspecting our games for compliance.


PP here. Serious question- if FCPS is requiring all in the gym to wear masks, how could an organization as decently sized as BB make rules to the contrary? Their protocols are posted on their website so it's not like I heard this on the street. Is it just ignorance of FCPS rules?


They likely posted it before the rule changed requiring masks. Also, as someone said above, Burke has not started yet and may not start so no need to update it at this time.

Burke Basketball has not even started their season yet - their website indicates they will not start until at least January 19th and they are meeting this week to discuss whether they will even have a season. I'm sure they will update their protocols appropriately to follow current guidelines before they actually start.

Wow, FCPS closed down even for those few groups who have been in school since fall? What a disaster.

FCPS ARE NOT currently open to groups 1-4 and after tonight’s SB meeting those groups may not be in person until February.
I forgot to add that yes the gyms are open to sports. Hopefully that stays as is, but who knows!
