We are at BSC and have similar rules to MSI. While I certainly don't agree with rules and feel they are overkill, I decided it was not a big deal. If my kid has to wear a mask during practice, fine...for now.

We play all of our games away and in other counties where masks are not required for games along with two spectators per player.

I will say, once we see temperatures rise to the 80s and 90s, I will feel much differently about practicing with masks. A sweat filled mask is more conducive to spreading the virus than it is not to wear a mask.

I am in agreement with the majority though. It seems a few Karens along with MoCo politicians have the power over a heavy majority of the population on this subjects. One can look at any other county in the DMV or Virginia and see what is obvious. You have to drive all the way to PA before you see similar restrictions.

Why? MSI is a huge local program and their spectator policy impacts many. And it is the outlier not only locally but nationally. They did announce that they expect to update the policy today so change is coming.


I’m sure you are aware that MSI completely follows MoCo’s direction since they use the majority of all MoCo local park and school soccer fields. If you want to b1tch, then directed it at MoCo.


I'm sure you are aware that's not entirely true, that some policies were beyond the county rules, and that MSI had the ability to submit spectator plans and get additional approvals, and that some of those steps were not taken initially but then have been more actively over the past week or two.

You probably also think MSI's mask rule from the fall was the county. Now it is, of course, but not in the fall. That was MSI decision.

The organization has some role even within the county's ridiculous crusade on outdoor youth activities that has no basis in science. At least MSI now allows a ball to be touched by a hand or head and not wiped down every 5 seconds (which nobody was doing anyways).


Sounds like you should leave MSI unless your DC is not talented enough to join FCGB, Potomac, BSC or other MoCo clubs. LOL


+1. Many parents love the MSI’s mask rule. Kids didn’t complain, it’s always the parents. My DD is with Potomac and all of her teammates wear masks to all games & practices. No issues at all.

This is not true. You didn't read the previous thread. Their spectator policy was stricter than mocos.

How do you think they are changing it now if it followed Moco?

Too much time on your hands. Got bored a few sentences in.


Your laissez Faire attitude is why all the children are dying. Do you work for the school board?
