What's your opinion on social distancing in the dugouts. I think that's a concern no one has mentioned. The players really cant sit out along the fence with the numerous foul balls at most of the park's.I still feel in my gut it is way to early to tell here. I get there are some pretty big tournaments. However, these are all held outdoors in summers months and typically pretty spread out. We cannot look at what professional sporting leagues do. They are in a much more confined space. That being said we will be at the mercy of what the federal and state governments come up with and when they will start to relax the whole mass gathering order. Still holding out hope and looking forward to a summer full of softball.

They just cancelled the British Open today. I think we are being optimistic about this summer. How sanitary are the port o pots, concession stands and hotel stays ?
Agree if they are talking college football may be in jeopardy!! i dont see summer tournaments happeningI don’t believe will see Summer Ball played this year.

I watch governor Dewine press conferences every day ,and Dewine and Dr. Acton are simply stating even at Ohio's peak and down turn we will still have to maintain the social distancing and other guidelines to prevent this from starting back on a up swing I understand this is unfortunate for everyone but its Life over Softball is the important thingI'm still Holding out hope for Summer ball. maybe late June or early July and play though August. Maybe the summer will be more smaller local tournaments. Big difference in having 30,000 fans into stadium compared to maybe 50-100 people outside at a local field.
OHSAA sent this out today. If schools close the rest of year, spring sports are done. If they go back May 1st, here is the tentative schedule. This could get interesting with Summer ball., but I don't think they will go back May 1st. I think they are just giving kids false hope right now.
