viii. Sports played outside must follow outdoor gathering guidelines and the number of people present is limited to 50. This includes staff, coaches, players, and any parents, guardians, or immediate family.
xi. Sports may not open to the general public or spectators other than those identified in paragraph 5.l.xi.(1).
(1) Parents, guardians, and immediate family of players may spectate provided they maintain the appropriate social distancing of greater than 6 feet between non-family members.

So in theory parents are allowed to spectate but in reality probably not.

guess ill be "exercising on the track" during the games.

I wonder if this is a county mandate or club mandate.

only asking because I notice other areas saying 1 guest per player ( I think it has to be under 50 ppl)

If it is under 50 people, then there could not be any parents realistically. 18 kids and two coaches per team equals 40 people. Add the 3 refs and you get 43 people. You definitely cannot let just 6 parents in to watch a game without creating a parent riot.

Unless of course the 50 people threshold is just for spectators, in which case 1 parent per kid would be fine.

no I think I read somewhere for moco sports 50 ppl gatherings- total

For Bethesda its no parents. This is mainly so Kevin can yell louder.

It’s definitely not reason that prevailed.

It was lobbying from MSYSA, Soccerplex and all of the MoCo soccer clubs and pissed off parents. That’s a lot of re-election campaign dollars too.

Well it didn’t help that Elrich at a press briefing said he googled what other jurisdictions did on soccer and could not explain why lacrosse was not high risk. The county council will look to take him down on issues if not supported by any data - and you are right, something that irritates a lot constituents. . His chief administrated officer got a slap on the wrist for ethics violations but the county council put transparency on the seriousness and then the officer resigned.

This was approved, as expected.
