In our area, baseball and lacrosse have continued playing tournaments, local and traveling out of state for them. The pictures my friends have posted don't look any different than prepandemic. Kids huddled together, parents close on the sidelines, swimming in the hotel pools as a large group and dining in restaurants. The cheer gyms and gymnastics gyms are trending towards functioning on a normal level.
My boys play soccer. Their club has only been holding socially distant outdoor practices. Coaches are supposed to wear masks, no parents on the fields. DS2's team has been holding additional unofficial practices for small-sided team scrimmages. Obviously there is some closeness while playing but no huddling. Perfect? No but as strict as we have been, it's very hard for competitive, active kids to be without an outlet and it's outdoors. We've allowed it.
I am pleasantly surprised at our case data this week - numbers are down and test positivity hit 5% today after a very slow decline. Hospitalizations are holding steady over the last month instead of the rise prior. Still not good, but not exploding like so many other Southern states.
