Families support fall sports. Local communities, not counties, should govern our students

The Issue

These amazing athletes are our kids.  Political power and influencers are creating arbitrary rules to dictate our students' opportunities, and parents have never been asked.  It's time our voices are officially heard.

As parents, we have made the personal choice to allow our children to participate in sports despite the physical harm and injury that might result.  We know statistically they are more likely to get injured on the field, on the court or in the race far more than the affects of Covid 19.

Enough.  These athletes deserve the right to compete, gain opportunities for college and play the game they love.  Enough.  These are our children, and the arbitrary, "hopeful" dictates need to stop.  We are Ohio.  We are One Team.  We are One School.  These are our kids.  We want them to compete.
