Yes for sure. I believe in many of the other states they were giving that option to schools who didn't want to. Or let those schools play in spring on own.

In my observation, most ADs put in a lot of time and do a good job with the management issues for which they are charged. I can not envision most of them going out of their lane to spearhead issues of the magnitude that are being proposed. I am not surprised we are not seeing them step beyond the chain of command involving the principal, superintendent and school board to lead any high-profile initiatives well in the public eye.
To me, it seems like we, the public, are unwittingly part of seeing a shell game unfolding in front of us. We are trying to find the pea in shells labelled with JB, IHSA and IDPH. Which shell is hiding the actual decision-maker is our challenge.
Sure, but they can and should be putting pressure on the IHSA. Personally, I'm not giving any of them a pass.
You're right, I went back and looked. Either way, their bosses aren't doing anything and they really aren't asking them too either. Works both ways when they (the school and the Athletic department) reach out for support.
Agree, the suit IMO is more about winter sports and a clear path forward for Spring.
Does anyone know of any association or league not following the guidelines? All the youth tackle football leagues canceled. No park districts are running real leagues. Travel soccer, basketball, volleyball have no leagues or tournaments. Hockey has nothing. Hard to blame the IHSA if they are just following the guidelines like everyone else.
However, IL is such an outlier with regard to HS football, especially considering what is currently allowed in surrounding states, the IHSA is subject to deserved scrutiny.
I can't whether there is league play. But, I have seen travel baseball pretty much all summer. I saw games yesterday going on at Lockport's high school field, at Ingalls Park in Joliet and at a complex in New Lenox. I wouldn't doubt there are and have been baseball games all over this area.
I’m confused because a person I know is posting pictures of her kid playing Pop Warner in Park Ridge.
Baseball/Softball are going with "friendlies" and league play. Tournaments aren't supposed to be allowed, but I haven't really checked to see if that is being enforced or not because my daughters softball team doesn't do fall tournaments anyway. The guidelines only allow baseball/softball as "low risk" if players stay 6' apart when not on the field (no using dugouts, etc.). Enforcement of that varies greatly from location to location.
Baseball and softball have been going for awhile. All the other sports were going until August 15 and then every association shut them down.
Contact tracing isn't an exact science. I think a person is probably in more danger when he or she walks into a store than when they play a contact sport.
My daughter played in softball tourney all weekend, they won
.. She's been playing consistently since May..Awwwright!! Good for them! And good for them that they won.My daughter played in softball tourney all weekend, they won
What age group?
13u.. Yeah, the coach from the other team who we already beat and host of the tourney made the ump to tell our girls with spikes that they weren't allowed to wear them. Our best pitcher wears them and this all happened after her first pitch.. I have 3 sons that have played many tourney games and I haven't seen anything this bush league in my life.. Just to brag, my daughter had the game winning double..Awwwright!! Good for them! And good for them that they won.
