I know Belmond-Klemme stated they are not playing. Has any other school in the state officially said no?

Seems like a lot of work and speculation to do this right. Just cancel and avoid the craziness. Back when I was a kid all we had to do in the summer was swim in a pond and ride bikes around town. I think the kids will survive.

It doesn’t even sound like fun with all these proposed measures.

or we can let them play, with some safety measures in place, for this exact reason...

Any schools other than B-K deciding to not play?

 

[hunttr82]

According to this article, which also answers some more questions, the state has been informed by BK and Woodward Academy that they are not playing (as of yesterday).

I hadn't seen the info on buses yet until I read this.

I just sat in on a parents meeting for varsity softball. It's honestly not that bad...I'd imagine after a few games without bleachers and concessions, etc. it won't be all that weird. It also just baffles my mind how many people, even in this thread, still want to just shut everything down. They just can't get it in their heads that life has to go on...

That is not a true statement.

Yes it is.

 

[madguy30]

Yes it is.

Please cite a post in this thread with someone saying everything should be shut down.

My kids’ high school is saying that football workouts will likely start on July 1.

3 schools not playing now that I have seen. Belmond-Klemme, Woodward Academy, and now Eagle Grove.

Eagle Grove has a big new packing plant. Haven't heard of any large corono issues there yet.

I'm starved for sports. I live less than a mile from WDM Valley, and not much more than that from Dowling and DSM Roosevelt. What are the attendence rules for the general public? Are we outright banned?

You sit along the fence is what I heard.

Hopefully the third base line. Watch out for that heater sweety!

SD5) Are spectators permitted to attend games?

A5) Per guidelines from the Department of Education and the Department of Public Health, schools must limit the use of bleachers for fans. Schools should encourage fans to bring their own chairs or stand. Fans should practice social distancing between different household units and accept personal responsibility for public health guidelines.

Individual school districts may have additional guidelines.

Wright County has had a huge jump in the past two weeks mostly because of the plant, thus two schools in that county are playing it safe.

Thanks. Probably best not to go. Valley has open seating beyond the fences, always a few people sitting there. I might drive by during a game and see for myself how many people are there and in the stands.

Actually most were from a chicken ranch that broke.

Umpire behind home plate or behind the pitcher?

Varsity contests both softball and baseball. Umpire will work behind the plate. We won't have the balls. They will be kept by the defensive team. Players can't go to there mouth or the ball is dead and then it is thrown out to be sanitized. I do both sports and it will be interesting for sure.

Keith Murphy said this also includes Meskwaki Settlement, so add them to the list of those not playing.
