State has already said if you follow the guidelines/procedures set by them then one kid/coach or even a handful of people will not shut down a team. If enough people on team are sitting out and it forces you to shut down then you forfeit 2 weeks and then go back to playing. If you can play with JV kids then you will.. If the majority of schools can play they will continue the season and play a championship game. The state has already said that’s their priority. We are playing unless government shuts as down. And as evidence from the spring season, we will be the last state to close. We are playing but I’m not saying it’s 100% because nothing is a guarantee these days. |

Basically MO is treating it like the flu or any other virus then? That’s what it seems like. Being more cautious than normal flu etc obviously. We will wear masks during non strenuous activities, social distancing when possible etc. But we are playing unless government shut down or over half the state is the new national hot spot. |

Official start and Acclimation begin Monday in Georgia. Full Pads start August 3rd. Then end of December would be state championship games. It could be a crazy long season. 5 month season? COVID-19 aside, there’s no way that’s healthy for high schoolers. That’s as long as the NFL season and a lot of those rookies—who do nothing but football—hit a wall by week 10 or so. Are there breaks in between the regular and post season or dead periods? That’s wild. It is long. We started wearing helmets the third week of June so even longer than normal. We have a dead week a July 4th week in the summer and two open weeks during the season but we still practice those weeks. The playoffs are five weeks so not all teams are going to play the full five month season. This is only my second year in Georgia but last year we were open in week 1 so we didn’t play a game from the first time we put on pads for five weeks. That was miserable for me. I do think a five month season is too long but with all of the covid stuff I welcome it over doing nothing. From March till when we could get back working with our kids in June was the worst. |

We’ve had a change in Iowa: weeks 1/2 are now optional with district games starting week 3. Everyone makes the playoffs and those start week 8. So teams that may be uncomfortable playing early games now don’t necessarily have to

I would say Missouri is now more up in the air. I have not heard of anything to do with playoffs. Camps and summer schools are being cancelled all over the state. We got KC saying they will be all online which makes them ineligible to play sports. MSHSAA hasn't said if a athlete doesn't go to school will they be eligible to play. The coaches association recommendations for no off campus camps and 7 on 7 isn't being followed. You got a massive party down in Lee Summit that will probably have a ton of kids with the Covid. I wouldn't say anything is certain.

Couple days ago Dr. Fauci said we will not be able to return to "normality" until we have a vaccine for COVID-19.
If that's the case it is difficult to envision a season - NFL, CFB, or HS - being completed this fall.

Again, it is impossible to really have any discussion without getting political because unfortunately a public health issue has become a political one. It really boils down to if you believe that this particular virus should be treated like other viruses that affect humanity, or in a different manner. The media coverage and how it plays into political tribalism has driven that. |

But if Dr. Fauci (who has served under six presidents from both parties) is right, the sheer number of infections at all three levels will likely cause mass cancellations even if seasons get started. See Michigan State's football program this week - and that was with only one player and two staff members testing positive. |

See Michigan State's football program this week - and that was with only one player and two staff members testing positive. Well, that is where my second and third sentences take effect. Michigan State is an example of a reaction, which is what I am talking about. It isn't that the Spartan's have been so decimated by illness that the team can not function. It is that program activities were suspended because 3 people tested positive. That is my point. In your career, did you ever shut down operations because 1 player and 2 staff members had a cold, the flu, chickenpox etc? So as I said, the discussion can't really be had because the above reaction (and others like it) are now politicized and politics in the U.S are now tribal. The division is over the virus : is it just another virus, or is it something that should be treated wildly different. |

Those of you who are playing:
1. Are you starting the school year on campus, virtual, or both?
2. What is your school’s response if an on campus student tests positive?
3. What is your football team’s response if a player tests positive?
4. What is your football team’s response if a player from a recent opponent tests positive?

Our states (New Hampshire) has announced it will leave it up to each individual school. Each school has the option of playing or opting our for each sport. I'm not sure how this will impact scheduling however.

Genuine questions here Where are you from? Do you think you'll play football in the fall? How confident are you? Please keep arguments of whether or not we should somewhere else. I'll start: From New Hampshire. I believe we will play in the fall. I'm 60% confident. Just interested in hearing how we are all thinking. Also from NH, I see districts making their own decisions and so don't think we finish the season. I'm also about 60% sure we do start, but someone on our schedule will have a positive and it will get shut down. |

I dont think that's a step in the right direction if we are truly going to play. What have you head about scheduling? For example if we play Nashua week one but theh opt out. Do we just not play that week? |

I've heard nothing. I'm on the reopening committee at my school and sports is not a priority when there's so much left to figure out.

Go back. Positive test quarantine Quarantine and anyone with close contact would as well. (Within 6’ for 15+ minutes) or direct contact. If it’s more than 48 hours we move on like normal. Basically all of that was set by state. MO |

Michigan
In person 5 days a week, school of about 340 students
If a student tests positive, student and siblings are home for 2 weeks or negative test result
Rest of class is notified and symptoms are monitored for 7 days, if symptoms present, then the kid stays home for 14 days or negative test result
Football team wise, we are planning on keeping the JV and varsity seperate as possible, following the guidelines set by the MHSAA, and our Archdiocese as much as we can. We know its inevitable.
A local school district about 7 miles from us had a player test positive recently, the entire team shut down for 1 week while a deep cleaning occured, and then any student-athlete who didnt exhibit symptoms was allowed to return.
Is it perfect? No and there won't be a single program who has the perfect plan. I know we are tired of the negative news so we have taken the approach of educating our kids as much as we can, making the most of every workout and keeping the thought in our head that we are one day going to play football again.

Just interested in hearing how we are all thinking. nj so far sp good....workouts started the 13th of july I'm in NC. I'm new here (moved from VA in March) and I'm retired so anything that I hear is whatever's on the news. It's not looking good here, IMO. We're in Phase 2 of the three phase reopening plan. The Governor has postponed moving past Phase 2 twice. Infections are up. Some of that is because of more testing but the infection percentage has stayed at 8-10% and the Gov. has said along that they want it at around 5%. Hospitalizations are also up so I'm not seeing things opening soon. |

In your career, did you ever shut down operations because 1 player and 2 staff members had a cold, the flu, chickenpox etc? The division is over the virus : is it just another virus, or is it something that should be treated wildly different. For me, this is the infuriating part. We're acting like this is bubonic plague when statistically it's only slightly more harmful than the flu. And it's all for November 3rd. Not true. This thing has killed over 140,000 Americans, which is about 100,000 more than the flu typically kills, ans is still going. In addition, when you recover from the flu there are no long-term effects. Covid victims may have debilitating effects that could last a lifetime. |

We're acting like this is bubonic plague when statistically it's only slightly more harmful than the flu. And it's all for November 3rd. Remember though, the plague ravaged Europe for over 7 years. While current data wouldn't project the same amount of deaths (particularly due to medical advancements and public health advancements and not necessarily because of the "severity" of the virus and corresponding disease) , it would project potentially millions of deaths during that time period. As far as the political part--just keep in mind who first turned a medical issue into a political one. |

And, we don't also know how many gunshot deaths and motorcycle accidents and other stuff that has nothing to do with COVID have been thrown in. Actually we do. |
