Just finished our 7 game season. Here are my thoughts and opinions.
- 1 kid non-symptomatic (tested for non-football related surgery)- quarantined 1/2 the team to start the season due to class he was in.
- No other positive tests for 9 weeks we were together
- Did film outside.
- No late season sick/coughing outbreak unlike every other season. My unofficial opinion was that we had individual water bottles.
- Eligibility issues were a bigger problem than normal (take note spring coaches):
- Kids are getting away with excuses more than usual, accountability is extremely important.
- Most players choose remote learning to avoid a cohort testing positive (take note spring coaches).
-Didn’t really notice lack of fans in the stands the last couple of weeks. (Although almost every study I have read states it is highly unlikely to catch COVID outdoors and more then 6 feet of social distancing but Politicians like control more than common sense so whatever.)
- Be creative regarding team dinners, etc.
- I enjoyed the fact that I could coach all the way to the 10 yard line.
- Played revised schedule without any issues.
- Kids need Coaches, sports and structure more now than ever. Not sure the people that want to control our lives understand or care about our young people unless it helps advance their political agenda. Pressure them to play winter/spring sports. Be your players advocate!
