Description
the highlighted regulations were to be in place in order for fall field hockey to take place. I signed my 4 daughters up again feeling comforted by the restrictions and protocols in place. When I showed up to Annapolis High for their first rec game on Saturday the 27th, I was appalled. It was packed and each player had from 4-5 people with them from grandparents to other adult family members. I have 3 daughters on one team and still made my husband stay home so we didn't violate any rules. Only about half of the crowds in attendance had mask on. Three different sticklettes games were going on at the same time on one field. That is 6 teams at one time. There was absolutely no social distancing going on. I saw teams handing out snacks to kids, other teams showing up far too early and sitting on the sidelines. It was probably worse than last year's regular non-Covid season. I did not see anyone from parks and rec or a single field hockey commissioner policing the crowds. I would have never signed my daughters up for fall sports had I known the protocols listed were simply for show. I attended a game later in the day at Arundel HS & it was a little better but still half of attendees had no masks, no players were cleven showing up to the fields in masks. it was an all around disappointing day for AA Cty field hockey in my opinion.
