Due to Governer Lee’s extended state of emergency declaration sports for high school and little league have been postponed. This is not the choice the parents or players would have made. The participants fall in the lowest risk category for covid infection and complications. Keeping active and outdoors further strengthens overall immune function, which would be achieved by participation in sports, such as football and soccer. Many of these players may lose scholarship opportunities without their normal sports season. Let this be up to the parents and players. It is not mandatory and those who are uncomfortable with close contact sports can make the choice not to participate.
