I don't think you will be the last. I didn't know the county could cancel your sports?

Our state went from "won't consider the idea of fall sports playing in the spring" to a few weeks later moving all sports back and having football scheduled for March and April. Things can change fast.

November 4th. It will be a bad dream one way another. Coach Pithy-What do you mean? You really didn't do that...did you?  |

Well, we are the first (and only as of now) school in the state of MO to cancel fall sports. Is the school opening for face to face learning, 100% remote, a hybrid plan? |

And I dont think it matters one way or the other...but we have to get there first. And you know full well that it is a stand alone comment. I probably should Have I wont expand on it. |

**** When you say "first and only school" how is your LEA set up? Just one high school I am assuming? A school board overseeing a single high school, one or 2 middles schools, one or 2 or 3 elementary schools? One k-12 school etc?

My district decides tomorrow. All of the principals want to cancel sports but don’t think the director will due to Potential backlash from parents.

As the deadlines are getting closer I think we are seeing a “new” issue arising with public environments like schools (and by extension athletics) Many members of the public wants them open , but those in charge are recognizing that they can not operate within the restrictions being placed on them. However, the arguments then become a back and forth over “safety” which may not be the issue. |

They’re already stressed to the gills with implementing all the new regulations for staff and students recommendations and sports is just another one on top of it that they’d like to remove and they know is going to be a logistical nightmare. Staffing the games, enforcing mask wearing and social distancing at games, reconfigurations to concession stands to speed up and limit crowding. When they feel like we’ll only play a game or two at best anyways, before the plug is pulled. |

That they simply cant figure a way to do things within the restrictions put upon them. |

Right now the plan is
Practice starts August 24
Helmets August 26
First game September 11
Playoffs pushed back one week and an extra week added to the season.
Teams can schedule a game in the new week and schedule their bye week.
7-9 games possible with a full playoff.
The board of control will meet again before August 24 to see if the plan needs to be revised.

As I have mentioned in my SC thread, we will move to phase "1.5" on Monday.
-groups go from 10 to16
-can hand off/pass a ball
-can use pads/bags as long as masked are worn
-still no helmets, or defensive players without distancing (mainly addressing basketball and volleyball)
Phase 2 would be some larger numbers and basically 'practicing'. Phase 3 is competitions. However that is all just speculation since they have not even outlined any part of phases 2 and 3, much less given us a timeline.
So far as virtual versus in house schooling, our League Office has stated that as long as the kid is recognized by the district as a student he will be eligible to play. We have been allowed to let homeschooled kids play (in their assigned district) on the team for several years now. Our district has 2 options right now: and A/B schedule and virtual.
Also the August 17 start of practice date does NOT mean we are moving to phase 2, it is simply the date where we can mandate/require kids to attend.
All that being said, the largest school district in the state is in the next county over. They shut down work outs after about 2 weeks and haven't restarted yet.

Given the current recommendations by the county health department? No. They said no sports. We were 1 of the 6 that complied. If we were any other school outside our county? Yes we could have practice and played per guidelines set by the state. |

Our county has 3 Covid deaths, 2 of those people were on hospice.
We just set the bar for the state. How anyone else is going to justify playing after our decision is beyond me.

I know several have talked about the difficulties in obtaining buses, equipment cleaning, locker room usage etc. with regards to all the logistical hoops |

A brief skim shows these are very vague at best. Certainly not much guidance or specifics given. One could make an argument most of what is expressed by your state association is simple basic hygiene that should have been practiced prior to this virus’s origin No actual concrete guidelines? 25 people to a room, 8 to a group etc? That is why I believe we are going to see more individual schools pull the plug. Simply because they are going to recognize it is going to be nearly impossible to implement any plans given the restrictions and guidelines. I work at an elementary school and the logistics for arrival and dismissal alone may prove to be impossible, not to mention things like lunch, recess, discipline etc |

Well we’re officially 100% face to face instruction with 0% sports. So based on our back-and-forth around a month ago, are you anticipating that the school will close down because so few students will attend without sports and your community will die? |
