We were just asked last night as a team if we would be willing to go to Morgantown, Memorial Day weekend. 6gg Saturday, Sunday and Monday. As of now it is on. However, if I'm understanding their reopening plan that would be the 1st weekend the fields and such would be open. It may be pushing things that early.
I know you later posted that the tourney ended up cancelling, however I'm curious about the logistics of traveling out of state right now to play. Since your team was planning/willing to do so, perhaps you have insight with regard to having to self quarantine for two weeks upon return from out of state? Curious to know if you're aware of the current directive from the DOH to do so, and if that was an acceptable consequence/result for your team/parents? If so, was this discussed among the group, or was this decision made solely by coaching staff?We were just asked last night as a team if we would be willing to go to Morgantown, Memorial Day weekend. 6gg Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

I've seen other parents from another big organization posting on social media that they're heading out of state here in just a few weeks to play since they can't here in OH, and I'm asking myself if they are willing to accept the quarantine or if they're simply blowing that off? Certainly not trying to stir any pots, and not judging, just looking for friendly insight/perspective. Believe me, I'm as ready as any to see my DD and all of these girls get back to playing. I'm just curious to hear some others takes in that regard.
Thanks, and good luck in your season, whenever that may begin!

Parkersburg has a 5/23 tournamentDoes anyone know the status of West Virginia ? It seems they are 3-4 weeks ahead of Ohio and PA ...Other than Morgantown in the winter , I never played in a tournament in the summer. I came across this article : https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/West-Virginia-to-start-second-week-of-gov-s-15243612.php
So any tournaments in Wheeling , Morgantown Weirton, Charleston ...etc ???
This comes right from the order itself. It states they are asking you to self quarantine, not requiring it.
"This Order allows travel into or out of the State including travel that originates and ends outside of the state. However, persons entering the State with the intent to stay are asked to self-quarantine for fourteen days unless they are doing so for critical infrastructure or healthcare workforce purposes."
It's also hard to imagine going out of state to play in a tournament when no one has been able to practice for the last 2 months.
That's a good point about "asked" v. "requiring". In fact, I agree with you, Irdad09, and SonicMojo here. I know my employer is taking precautions to the extreme and wouldn't allow me to report to work for fourteen days if I were to leave state right now. I'm just thinking I can't be the only one in that situation and was wondering how this particular team was approaching traveling with that in mind since they were planning to do so. Like I said in my question, I too am ready to see these girls get after it. There are simply a lot of factors to think about, and I was curious to hear others perspective. Thanks for the insight.
My employer isn't specifically "tracking" me as an employee to ensure that I'm not leaving state. However, I do have to take time off from work to travel with my DD to tourneys, and it'd be pretty hard to keep the fact that she's playing under wraps. I have a multitude of strict guidelines I currently have to follow at work due to this pandemic, such as having my temp taken as I enter the building, wear a mask, etc. My point being that my employer is taking this to the extreme with regard to "setting the right example" (their words, not mine) in relation to health/safety during this situation, and I know me flirting with the wording of the DOH directive with regard to "asking" v. "requiring" would be a problematic battle for me until that directive is rescinded.I have a question for your @RedsDad. This is strictly out of curiosity. How is your employer tracking what you are doing and where you are going? I'm not suggesting anything by this, only I have seen a ton of stories of employers doing different things to help out. (Keep bad PR away)
