Anybody have a supercomputer I can borrow to figure out whether or not my kid can play in a softball tournament?

If these things are necessary, then there will be no games

Are you suggesting softball will have to go back to the way it was without adjustments in protocol befor its played again.

Yes.

Changing how certain things have been done is inevitable.
Modification is foreseable.
Guidelines being recommended by each states officials will offer variances in policy.

I’ve been around youth athletics for 20 years. I’ve coached, officiated, been on the org board, and I have just sat in the stands.

I have seen far too many parents and
coaches put children at risk. I’ve seen
Kids exacerbate injuries when they should not be playing and I have seen parents force kids with known injuries to practice at home. There is no way I would put my kid out there if this virus is still active.

There is no amount of ball washing that would make me allow my dd to play knowing that other parents are going to send sick kids out on the field.

The end of May is still a long time away. Ohio is slowly opening things up May 1st. Everyone just needs to relax and see how things develop once things start to open up. Most people really weren't in quarantine anyway. People were still in crowds at the grocery and I have seen kids and parents having parties.

Read the claification of you speaking for yourself on your risk mitigation towards covid virus.
That does not speak to how modifications will be implemented in public.
Which is my point.

So you mean prayer circles are a thing of the past?

I agree.

So many of these parents scream "My DD has to play softball". A lot of them really mean "I want to go watch my DD play softball."

I never cared for those. We have many players of different religions and I'm all for a separation of church and softball. Especially when half the coaches in the prayer circles forget their Christian teachings in the first inning.

I agree.

Hard to imagine everything that would need to be disinfected done so properly.
