Is totally going to happen! 3pm at Fichtner. Practice at 130, probably?
No seriously, I feel very bad for James and all the HS kids that were supposed to be using the fields this weekend for their regional tournament. I was as excited as someone who is not involved can be--for James and the other coaches and kids involved.
BUT, this means Fichtner is available. I cannot vouch for Max and Zach doing practice starting at 130. I will be there if they are willing to still lead that.
Wow, how many emails have you gotten lately that start out "Due to the coronavirus..." I was swimming in them this week. Hopefully, this is the best one you got! This email is not telling you that we are forced to make some decision or other because our "leadership" needed to announce some sort of "effort" to combat the "pandemic". Not to say nothing is wrong, simply, I am glad we are not under City of Medford Parks and Rec because they would not give us an option, and we as a community can make our own personal decisions without administrative repercussions.
I am sure that we all have differing opinions on this virus, and that is good, but I am not sick, and I don't think everyone needs to cancel everything because some people have a contagious disease. I personally feel that ultimate does not pose much risk to spreading coronavirus, mainly because we are outdoors and it is a non-contact sport, so I am going to show up and play. If anyone is concerned about disc contact, we can use Clorox wipes after each point, or something to that effect. I really don't mind the precautions. I think, looking back on all of this, we will all agree that on these kinds of things, overreacting is better than underreacting. So, while I personally choose to have minimal concern, I am also willing to do what makes other people comfortable and reassured that adequated precautions, for their situation, are enacted.
Anyone else feeling good? It IS pi day... and nothing says pi quite like an ultimate disc!
Ultimately,
