Very different. When you say fields, you aren't talking game fields are you (particularly grass)? Suburban district is a little over 1,100 square miles servicing about 40,000 students throughout 56 schools (8 high schools). larrymoe while the practice fields aren't able to be closed off, the campuses can be. Sure, kids could hop fences and such. While there isn't an active campaign to keep kids off, it is not welcomed. Urban district campuses are are locked up, so those lucky enough to have a patch of grass to practice on have their fields locked up. The rest use public spaces. Are you telling me you have worked exclusively in schools that the community wasn’t able to use the field/fields at the school? Not in the "pick up" manner in which Bob Goodman described originally--no. A bunch of kids/people can't just show up and roam on the HS or Jr high campuses no. |

All I have ever seen are people using the fields to play pick up games and people using the track for workouts |

Very common. Taxpayers paid for the schools field and track, thus it’s open for all when not in use by a school program. Private schools are the only ones I know that might keep it locked up.

I have never worked at a district that had a fence around the "campus". There is no way to close it off. |

Not in the "pick up" manner in which Bob Goodman described originally--no. A bunch of kids/people can't just show up and roam on the HS or Jr high campuses no. Our kids play pick up games at the school all the time. Even random people in the community use the track, tennis courts, baseball/softball fields and football fields or soccer/football/frisbee. Our kids have travelled to other schools and played pick up games with those kids too. The idea of that not being allowed to happen is shocking to me. When I was a kid I would go to my future HS (biggest public school in the state at the time) and go on the game field to run routes and play catch with my friends or dad. When I was 18 I blew my knee out playing backyard football with friends on my Hs practice football field. The idea of people not being allowed on public school grounds somewhere is mind blowing to me. I have literally never heard of this anywhere. |

Who knows what the rules are in any state, or municipality, for outdoor public assemblies? Officials caught a lot of flak for allowing or even encouraging the protests that in some places led to riots. What will official reaction be? Will it be to clamp down on everything, or open up to everything? And the rule one week may not be the rule the next week. |

Our kids did all that in the spring and early summer before we were allowed to see them in July. Every morning when I get to school for summer practice there are families walking on the track. |

Case in point: my friend Bob's church in Dover NJ restarted in-building services this month, but we didn't have a car so he couldn't go the past couple Sundays. Now we have a car, and he went, only to find out they're back to services online only because of governor's order.

They held it in the church, but he was locked out for having been late, because he'd gotten lost. |

I think he is commenting that this switch will again affect spring sports, either by moving them to now (which is what some have talked about in parts of the country) or just by "squeezing" them with the fall sports running concurrently. |

There will be zero football for schools that move to spring. ZERO CHANCE.

Within 30 days, I will guess there will be an announcement of no sports anywhere.

The VHSL voted the following: Football will begin in Mid-Feb, & continue until the end of April.
It will be a SIX (6) game schedule, the last 6 games of the DISTRICT schedule.
