Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 3547631, member: 1646"] Youth sports is great... and horrible. I'm now officially done with the "youth" part and on to high school. Spring would've been a culmination of years of soccer and lacrosse. My son played on the same soccer team since second grade, my daughter since 4th grade. Both played with the majority of their teammates for at least the last 4 years. It would have been nice to have a final season this spring. Most of the kids will play together whenever high school sports come back. My son's town lacrosse team was finally going to play for something (they don't keep records until 8th grade) outside of tournaments. A bunch of the boys are going to private school next year, so the team is essentially done. The parents are emailing about how sad it is. The kids seem disappointed that they are stuck inside and not playing, but they are not lamenting the end of youth sports. They are fine picking up again next year in high school. I believe that the primary sadness is from parents upset about their kids growing up. I really hope they don't rush youth sports back because parents are upset and think the kids are being damaged in some way. I live in the same area as [USER=2141]@Mr. Conehead[/USER]. I have one friend (with health issues) dead and have three friends who lost parents. I have a good friend that runs a local funeral home. The state put a refrigerated truck in his parking lot and he was working day and night despite not having any actual funerals. This isn't the Black Plague, but when it hits, it hits hard. I hope we get back to life soon, but I also hope everyone is thinking outside the box to get back to life in a safe way. I will celebrate the return of youth sports, but only when it's safe.
