Coaches,
We are on the field next Monday and we are supposed to disinfect equipment between sessions. Has anyone who has opened up found a good disinfectant that is safe for the leather. I know athlete safety needs to trump all but at the same time, I'd like to find something that isn't destroying the leather.
FTTF

Our rules say to use fake leather footballs for the ease of cleaning.

Heh...if ever there's transmission of viral diseases by a football, it's going to be within a game, not from one game to another. Like so much in this pandemic (and so much in society generally about a million other things), it's for the appearance of doing something that's actually useless.
If you really thought there was a chance of footballs acting as fomites, you'd want to rotate them each play and have someone disinfecting them on the sideline. But that's too much, so they're going to make you disinfect them uselessly between games, by which time the virus is dead or gone anyway.

Just spray them with Lysol unless you are provided with something from your district. I wouldn't get to crazy with it.

Bob he is talking about practice not during or between games. |

Same considerations apply. If ever a football acted as a fomite, it'd be within a practice session, not from one to the next. |
