#WhatAJoke
Obviously a campaign dreamed up by some boomer who heard that all the kids are really into this thing on their phones.
If keeping our HS sports teams from becoming virus hot spots is key to having a fall sports season it will take leadership from the adults who work with the kids.
This morning while hiking in a local country park I noticed a local HS XC team finishing up their morning work-out. This involved a full squad (50 or so minimally clothed sweaty boys and girls) game of frisbee football. Individuals I would identify as coaches were present along with a group of unmasked parents in a group chatting nearby. As a coach I have never found much value in frisbee football as a training tool, I might just be a frisbeephobe. Note this is in a country under the Orange level 3 advisory. As a coach I know I could run a practice which incorporates good core work and distance work-out all with reasonable distancing. A game that disregards all guidance seems like an unnecessary temp of fate. I know kids will do things on their own I do not agree with, but those things don't happen while I'm in charge and tasked with trying to keep these kids safe. I hope I don't see HS __ in the news re a COVID outbreak.
