No idea - they seem to have gone silent on this. I am in shock that they have given the go ahead to lacrosse and field hockey to play full games as long as the crowd is under 50 but are not even allowing soccer to scrimmage at practice with their own teammates.

Mark Elrich just sent an email to county residents (subject: Reopening Montgomery: An Active August) in which he says the following:

"Access to athletic fields to allow youth and adult games and tournaments for low- and medium-risk sports for groups of 50 or less is being expanded by Montgomery Parks, which is part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Fields at local parks are currently available and fields at regional and recreational parks will be available starting Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Games and tournaments were canceled in March due to the COVID-19 health crisis. High-risk sports games, such as football and rugby, are not permitted at this time. Practice and skill-building drills for high-risk sports are permitted. Sports are categorized by risk by the Maryland Sports Commission Return to Play Committee Report."

The Committee Report was linked and when you click on it, it's the Maryland State Sports Commission report dated June 5 that classifies soccer in the medium risk category. My read is that, although it wasn't stated explicitly, the county is now deferring to that state report??

This thread is for MoCo. And MoCo is still categorizing soccer as high risk. Why are you posting misleading information? You created another thread today where you said soccer in Maryland is NOW considered medium risk when it has been medium risk since June. You’re a making TOCA Juniors Football Club look stupid. Geez.

No point in being nasty about it. He or she made a mistake out of simple confusion.

I agree but that’s a really blatant mistake. Either way, if your job is doing social media for a club, he/she is has to be extra careful. He/she is also representing the club.

First, please check your gender insensitivity. Not all confirm to a binary gender system.

Second, it was an understandable mistake. That is why several corrections prior to yours did so without name calling. Unless one is aware of all the background events, including the timing, that have occurred, one could easily mistake the state determination trumping the county determination.

You use the pronoun "they"--no dog in this fight but that is what you use for non binary although I actually think it is okay to say he or she..maybe next time add they as well.

Ok Mr. Perfect. What should I use to be gender neutral if I can’t use he/she?

Mx. Perfect to you. "They" would indeed be appropriate (yes, even when referring to singular individuals). Setting that aside, please just be nicer. No need to add more nastiness to an already nasty world.

Right. But until MoCo execs remove their heads from their arses, soccer is still high risk here and it doesn’t matter to us soccer parents and kids that other sports have expanded field access for games.
