I’m asking all high school coaches their opinion on this but how do we tell kids wait 12 more days and maybe we start practice on December 20 that makes no sense....We are lying to kids and giving them false hope and crushing them at some point either shut it down or start it up

30,000 rapid COVID tests conducted over the last month. The negative rate of those 30,000-plus COVID tests is 99.8 percent. I am not sure how you can have much stronger data. That’s coming from one sport that is a full-contact sport and two other sports which were indoor sports.

Great conversation with a colleague that teaches Physical Education. He can have 30 kids in his gym class all day long starting on January 4th. At 2:30pm then Covid is an issue and we must close the gym. Apparently it lays dormant from 8:00am until 230pm? @CoachSpeakPdcst

We were playing 5 on 5 in open gyms in November...just think about that for a minute...but now it’s not safe to play! I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, the information they are using to make this decision or the lack of leadership they are showing by not discussing it.

I love this time of year because you find out what kids love the game. Some find a way to get shots up and stay in the gym while running track, playing baseball or lacrosse. Others find Fortnite or excuses. AAU is not for everyone but working on your game is not really an option.

All year @ChelseaBoysHoop has talked about #Playing4March . Tonight we got the W over Adrian 54-37 to improve to 15-6 on the year and more importantly we advanced to Friday’s district final which takes place on March 1st! #DefenseTravels @HankampScott @SunTimesSports @PrepHoopsMI

Schools across the state are putting 30 kids in a classroom and running PE class, but we can’t put 20 girls in a gym to play volleyball? What happened to consistency and common sense? I applauded our governor in the spring but I am disappointed right now.

It’s time to open HS gyms. With the weather today are we supposed to send girls out in sneakers to the wet grass to get hurt? At least outdoor sports wear cleats. Maybe that’s the new thing. Volleyball in cleats! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ #openHSgyms We can do it right. @GovWhitmer
