https://forms.gle/wv329diTZMFLzBfC8 I think this is it!

thanks

are people actually returning to play?

Yes, there are programs that are resuming in the fall

Edmonton is!

Calgary is returning as well

A dad called me and expressed grave concern over the fact that we are returning to play. He thinks it is extremely irresponsible of SOE to be doing this.

I agree with the dad

Thank you for sharing this concern, Fran. We appreciate that there are many factors for parents and guardians to consider!

I tend to agree with him too. An excellent point he raised is that many athletes live in group homes and so they will be around their team mates and exposing them to strangers so to speak.

Yes that's a bit motherhood and apple pie to me. If one of my athletes gets sick, I will feel responsible.

It was never 100 athletes in a gym. I appreciate accuracy in this discussion.

Q: are coaches responsible for all the cleaning? Including the facility?

getting athletes who use public transit to get on time and also leave on time will be a huge issue

there will be a lot of boredom without any competitive drills and/or games

transit schedules are different now and the bus doesn't run after the end of the program

excellent points about transportation....that said, how will communication be provided to family members in terms of DATS pick up times? I understand that you still cannot book subscriptions. It is unfair to expect coaches to wait hours for DATS to pick up athletes.

what if an athlete arrives by public transit and then you have to send them home SICK...how can you send them on public transit?

We also can't forget that this is so looked forward to by the athletes and is a source of exercise and socialization for them. If they feel comfortable with the expectations and possible risks and want to play, then it's amazing. I just wonder about mixing cohorts through different transportation means and/home situations. I agree that it could quickly get boring with the same repeated drills without any scrimmages

Conditioning drills compete on conditioning routines such as: longest plank (time), most sit ups, push ups, burpees, etc..

having stick handling drills while a coach or volunteer times them and documents that time would work, athletes could then have a record of thier times and try and beat that time ect

Just for clarification, running is allowed within drills so long as physical distancing is maintained?

with my students, on different pylons I put a picture of a different activity to do. keep them distances and the picture reminds them what to do

Is SOA providing face shields to all coaches and volunteers?

we also have athletes that need help with doing up their helmets and gloves.

what about disinfect before and after

we also have athletes that sweat a lot and have towels that they use constantly.
