For many of the concerns about individual parks, Terry from Rotary is ahead of the game. Someone mentioned about at least 1 family overly concerned with Covid and it may end up being a couple. That's all it takes to start having teams drop in May and June. Terry has sent out some information and questions about each team's and parents concerns and how or what if can be done. I thank Terry for being proactive. Unless the social distancing is erased or relaxed to over 500 to 1000, it doesn't seem viable at park's that have 4 or more fields.
You got 2 teams playing, 2 teams arriving/warming up, you got 2 teams packing up to move to another field. That's at least 70 players plus 70 single parents per field per game mingling around. Not to mention the siblings and grandparents. The concession areas, restrooms and the entrance/exit areas are all problems to deal with. We can all say, let's be adults and social distance but you know it will be basically impossible to police at a park with 8 fields going at once. Spectators in the OF is one solution but that's also the only real warmup areas, you already see problem parents or balls thrown in error causing problems. I hope we play but there are alot of concerns that aren't always so obvious.
Btw.....no way schools go back. Impossible to social distance at most public HS plus admin, clean and sanitize and regroup for the following day. First to close, last to open
