STANDARDS FOR SPORTS & RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN PHASE III, STEP 1
Risk Level: Sports and recreation activities are categorized as “Lower Risk,” “Moderate Risk,” and
“Higher Risk.”
Lower Risk sports and recreation activities are characterized by:
• Sports or activities that can be done with social distancing
• Sports or activities that can be done individually
Examples: Batting cages, tennis, pickleball, swimming, catch, disc golf, golf, individual biking, surfing, horseback riding, individual sailing, fishing, hunting, motor sports, yoga & no contact exercise classes, gymnastics
Moderate Risk sports and recreation activities are characterized by:
• Sports or activities that involve intermittent contact, but with protective equipment or mitigating measures in place that may reduce the likelihood of respiratory particle transmission between participants (e.g., wearing masks, modifying play)
Examples: Baseball, softball, crew/sailing (2-3 people in a boat), track and field, cross country, running clubs, team swimming, volleyball, dance class, fencing, field hockey, no-contact lacrosse
Higher Risk sports and recreation activities are characterized by:
• Sports that involve close, sustained contact between participants, lack of significant protective
barriers, and high probability that respiratory particles will be transmitted between participants.
Examples: Football, wrestling, soccer, rugby, basketball, lacrosse, ice-hockey, competitive cheer, martial arts, crew/sailing (more than 3 people in a boat), ultimate frisbee.
Type of Play: The following types of play are defined by level from least to greatest risk.
• Level 1: Individual or socially distanced group activities (no-contact workouts, aerobic conditioning, individual skill work, and drills)
• Level 2: Competitive Practices (Intra-team/group games, contact drills and scrimmages)
• Level 3: Competitions (Inter-team games, meets, matches, races, etc.)

So soccer ceases to exist unless we get a vaccine? Like “poof”, it’s gone? I’ve supported Baker but this is stupid.

Soccer has been listed as a “high risk sport” this have more restrictions placed on it. So it breaks it down like this.
Phase 3 stage 1 practice aerobics and social distance drills only.
Phase 3 stage 2 practice team drills but with guidelines in place.
Phase 3 stage 3 games and scrimmages.
Phase 3 stage 4 tournaments.

I don't understand why Massachusetts doesn't set its various phases and steps by county, similar to New York and many other states. If certain counties meet various goals, then they should be allowed to advance to the next phase and/or step. Why group the entire step in the same phase/step?
