@LousyLefty posted:Because, as someone who works with 7th & 8th graders, common sense isn't exactly full capacity at this age group. If he is following most states guidance (per CDC) temperatures will be checked as they come enter the field (now if you consider this the ballpark entrance or the gate to the field might change things) that is a bottleneck and players who haven't learned to recognize personal space yet are highly unlikely to observe a 6ft guideline.
7th and 8th graders don't go to grocery stores or home improvement stores? OK, I guess not if they have a say in the matter!
They are not driving themselves so I guess it's up to us parents to share some responsibility, like a good, responsible Swedish parent, oops, I mean American parents.
At least you should have about one parent per player on arrival which is much more than the player to coach ratio will be on the field and in the dugout. And you are going the keep them separated during the entire game?
Good luck!
