How can futsal (indoors) with 10 people on the court be safer than 22 people outside on a football sized field playing soccer?
Not sure how we can open up schools but many of the young students are suffering. Multiple teachers have told me that the struggle to use remote learning devices by young kids is pretty dramatic, with little help from their parents or siblings. They aren't getting any lesson plans or instruction because they can't operate their devices, contact teachers with questions, break into smaller groups, ask their friends for help, or even follow along the lesson plan at times. Very sad.
We have 17 on the team now after losing two girls to not wanting to play this year. Neither covid related. 15 can practice right now as two girls have family member with major medical condition so they are playing it safe. Leaves 15. Knowing our team at least 2 girls miss every practice so we would make the 14 person level.
Have to say our team is doing the distance practice pretty well, even the before and after practice with mask wearing. Football teams, not so much. Shared a field with football training for local High School. About 20 boys, 5 younger siblings and 5 adults. No masks, all about 2-3 feet apart for almost 2 hours. This included sitting side by side in large group, standing in lines almost touching to run through a drill, standing around listening to instruction. They aren't even trying to abide by any rules.
