Oh please, the numbers are spiraling downward. This should be over by June 1 except for the power grabbing politicians on both sides of the aisle. Let them play.

To keep social distance, the college coaches may be the only folks on the sidelines watching the HS kids play on non-stadium fields.

If coaches can recruit this summer tournaments will happen

If events take any type of mitigation, they will be shielded from liability. The virus is too wide spread to be traced to any one event.

You clearly have never planned any events at even a moderate scale.

The bar is set so high for proving where and how this virus could be caught. And nobody is forcing people to play or attend. There is zero litigation risk here.

All it takes is 1. That's literally the fear of county executives, tournament directors, club teams, hs and college coaches. All it takes is 1 child becoming ill. One parent or grandparent testing positive, and thats it. We are sadly a litigous society, and there isnt a single waiver that they could offer that a court would enforce in light of something like this. And given the federal circuits it might possibly have to pass through on the eastern seaboard, they will not be particularly sympathetic to the 'let them play' platitudes. Get over it. Scream at the sky if you must but this is done. Box is where this is headed for now at the earliest. If we are lucky we get some limited fall training and then we have Spring in 21.

Even if NCAA doesn't adjust recruiting window for the late 21 recruits and 22's, the film will be there for the kids to send out.

People are smarter as more and more studies comes out. Think where we were 4 weeks ago/2weeks ago; then project forward that same type of progress and understanding. If you follow the data, know who is most at risk, and take precautions, everyone will be fine.

+1. The tourny providers, clubs and families all will adjust a bit to how things “use to be”, then we get going. Too many antibody studies are popping up all w the same conclusion (understanding some aren’t peer reviewed, but they all say same basic thing) for the irrational and doomers to win out.

Source on the antibody testing studies? I saw one in NC that in early phases saw 2% of those tested have antibodies. New York City doesn’t count

Google studies done in Boston, LA, SF and I think they just had one done in FLa. (all done by either Universities or local municipalities)all basically saying infection rate is way higher than originally thought, which of course drives death rate and hospitalization rate way down. Also, we now know this virus was here in Jan, and could have been here since Nov. Point being, hospitals can handle the load until we get vaccine. We know who is in most danger, and we should provide all necessary services to protect them. The rest of us, should move forward...carefully...Ie social distance, put your mask on, wash your hands and don’t share water bottles.

Thank you

Except that politics won't let the rational win out. It is so obvious, from a scientific perspective, who is at risk, and it isn't HS or college students or athletes. But as long as Trump is in office, this country is going to continue to suffer at the hands of the media and healthcare industries to ensure a change in leadership. It's completely irrational.

I’m one of The PPs who thinks there is far too much fear mongering going on here and thinks kids should be allowed to play in outdoor tournaments this summer BUT I AM ALSO A DEMOCRAT and this isn’t about politics so stfu, you sound like a tin foil hat freak.

YOU are completely irrational. That is absurd.
