Unfortunately things are going to be delayed for at least another year with a potential attempt to normalcy in the winter. I hope I am wrong but from speaking to people who know ALOT more than me - fall sports like football and soccer are going to be cancelled. Some schools will open in the fall while others don't which will make school sports highly unlikely. The one caveat is this wont be everywhere. As we all know testing isn't there yet so large gatherings aren't going to occur and unlike professional sports where TV contracts and $$S will prevail there isn't going to be a central locale like Orlando or Arizona for high school sports. Without school there wont even be after school sports and if there is school - large gatherings like a football game with hundreds in the stands wont occur. Schools will start to open up in the winter but those in the know (again not me - just happen to talk to people who are) say without a cure there will be a relapse and we will be back where we are now. While we will be MUCH more prepared with masks and hopefully testing and a better response, the first thing to go will again be large gatherings. So while school will operate more smoothly with remote learning OR in some instances even staying open with factors in place such as temperature checks, face masks etc . . there will again be no LARGE gatherings after school Since I am on a Lacrosse blog - this means no spring lax without a cure. This also means no proms, school plays, etc . . I can only hope this relapse and continued "stay at home" procedure doesn't comeback next February/March but this seems inevitable. People will think all is good as things in the fall/early winter start to gain some normalcy but then things will revert. I will add that BOY, DO I HOPE THOSE SMARTER THAN ME ARE DEAD WRONG!!!

They might be wrong, but no lax all summer seems like a safe bet at this point.

not sure who you are talking to but they are wrong.

You mentioned that there would be no lax without a cure.... what about Lax For The Cure..... See what I did there?

classic

I thought it was moved to the end of July?

NCAA meeting today.

NCAA meeting today.

have a feeling the dead period is being extended through July

summer tournaments, if there are any, now kind of a waste for those in the recruiting classes.

What does the dead period cover? No on campus recruiting visits, I know. Phone calls and texts still are allowed.

Can the coaches come to tournaments? Can they work at off campus camps/clinics? For example Lacrosse Masters, etc? 'Virtual" clinics?

There goes G8. Will MA be next?

Did G8 cancel again ? I'm not seeing that anywhere ? I can tell you M&D which runs MidAtlantic will not cancel unless forced to do so. Nobody there wants to or still has the funds to issue refunds for that tournament

UA Baltimore highlight roster was some funny reading just now.

UA Baltimore highlight roster was some funny reading just now.

18 of the 23 have been on UA teams the last 2 years. Every year people complain. Baltimore won both divisions last year

🤐

Command 4 out of 23 where 2024. Highlight 10 out of 23 were class of 2022. I would say the Highlight ratio argues for tryout fairness, not going for more well known/ older girls.

that and there was obvious coaching bias this year. Some of these 2022 selections are laughable

Are you referring to the Heros girls? Other than them not sure which coach would be biased.

it looks very obvious what happened

Yes sit back and take it. Hope our heroes get a chance to show their ability this year!

Class of 22 heavy? Is that the surprise? Always DC tryout in Howard county coming up.

The DC tryouts may be in HoCo this year but the Coaches are from DC/VA. They will not allow for girls that they view as not from the DC area to make the team. Last year some of the most talented players at the tryouts didn’t make the call back game because they were viewed from out of region.
