My DD's first practice was today. All parents were directed (warned) to stay in their car, off the fields, not to drop off their kids early along with all the other safe practices. My DD's practice went off without a hitch. All of the girls wore masks to practice, they played about 15 feet apart for the whole practice. I thought this is great! I have been overly cautious for nothing.
The issue I have is the older boys began showing up for practice, probably 12 year olds. Parent's dropped them off up to about 30 minutes before practice, most had masks on, not all. They began playing as boys do, completely ignoring all distancing guidelines. A coach half a field away repeatedly talked to them and tried to get them to distance, but he had a practice to run. Not one of the kids parents got out of their car and said anything to the boys who huddled, sat almost nose to nose and played almost full contact soccer until I left.
I've vented, you can tell my I'm an idiot or that I shouldn't leave home if I'm worried about Covid, but all 10 moms who sat in their cars on the phone or chatting with each other while their sons possibly caught Covid... I duno man, they could be great parents, but this carefree behavior sucks Donkey D!ck IMO.
