Went thru exact same thing with my son who was 8th grade basketball last year. I asked same question for differences (return to school / sport), and landed on similar reasons.
This year, 9th grade football, he contracted Delta July 24...has been back at school since Aug 5 but can return to practice Monday for acclimation week due to heart-related symptoms from Delta. The Delta wrecked his hard work all summer...and debating if we made right decision to not get him Vax'ed. At the time, believe we did. But there was chance for heart damage that has me 2nd guessing.
Pardon digression, but you are not crazy for asking...and landing on the reasons you did. Lived it myself.

It's all a fricking game, my suggestion to you is
Refuse to play it
Refuse to play it

No big deal. The last out I have is if both my son and positive student were both wearing their masks. If I remember correctly, the LDH states that if that is true, the contact person does not need to quarantine. I just have to prove it.

If I didn’t give a shite about my kid, I wouldn’t. But I’m not going to not fight for him because we have people without common sense making rules. They need to be called out, not just ignored. What pisses me off the most is that he was generally excited about starting football. He has never really been into sports that much. So for him to find out all of the sign up information, talk to the coach, and actually show up on the first day; having never played football, means it was important to him. And now, because no one can make up their fricking mind, he has to miss two weeks.

Last year at this time my kids were flying/driving to Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee to play soccer because we weren’t allowed to play here. Nothing has ever made sense in Louisiana.

Last year at my high school.
Play football, no masks on sideline or on the field. What happens during a game? Players tackle, face off at line of scrimmage, some may spit. BUT, after the game, they cannot meet the other team at the 50 yard line, in single file, and shake hands. FFS.
Same with basketball. Lean on each other at free throw, bang bodies for rebounds. BUT, come out of the game and have to sit what feels like 50 feet from each other, masked. Again, FFS.

I believe that is the LHSAA protocol for someone who is not vaccinated.
For someone that is vaccinated, they do not have to quarantine unless they test positive themselves or become symptomatic.
Whether people like it or not, those are the rules.
These rules make no sense

Go read that again buckaroo. The LHSAA states the if a player is in close contact during completion or practice, he must quarantine the 14 days. If the contact occurs in a classroom, then the 10 days can apply. It’s the LDH that puts the stupid ability to distance or mask mandate.
Edit: it is true about being vaccinated. Fully vaccinated cancels contact tracing. First point remains valid however.

What’s your point? I acknowledged that the Louisiana Department of Health has a hand in this ridiculous rule.
Posted on 8/19/21 at 6:59 am to choupiquesushi
Last year, the LHSAA made its own protocols. It’s not doing that this year. Members are instructed to follow the protocols of their local governments. It did put out a “best practices” guide which had the 10/14 quarantine split.

I think the pressure for these players to get vaccinated is going to get turned up big time when this starts happening
It already has. My son is a senior with college offers. There are a few D1 schools he’s in contact with who want to see a few game films from senior year before final offer. Last year he missed 2 games because some clown that tackled him tested positive for covid in an already shortened season. He said he couldn’t risk missing games and film and had to make the adult decision no 17 year old should have to…to get an unapproved “vaccine” which lowers your effects if you get it. Doesn’t prevent the disease mind you just lowers effects (see definition of what a vaccine is
“a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases”)

Or stop narking on your contacts
Is it that big of deal to just hold your kid out of school for a few days from start of symptoms to end of symptoms and minimize social interactions for that time? Why do people feel the need to make a huge ordeal out of it.
Obviously the perception that contracting Covid is a death sentence even though the data proves it is clearly not even close to that. In fact the data says the opposite.
What the data does say is that it is extremely contagious so simply minimizing contacts and keeping distance when you need to go out while Symptomatic should be all that needs to happen.

Because most can’t exist in a world where answers aren’t binary. The idea of moderate responses is all but dead

Not one person has mentioned anything about going places while showing symptoms. This isn’t about COVID being a fake virus. This is about rules that are put in place that make zero sense. Explain to me why it is appropriate that a student can return to school after 10 days with no symptoms, but has to wait another 4 to play football. If your answer is that they he has to wear a mask in class, then explain why a mask is not required when he goes to recess outdoors; you know, WHERE FOOTBALL IS PLAYED!

The point is don’t put them into the situation to take action. If I was the coach, I would read the rules to the parents and then say something like if your kid is showing cold symptoms then please keep them home until they are better. I would then say that unless I am directly required to, I will not question a parent as to why they are keeping their son at home. :wink:wink:nod:nod:
Posted on 8/19/21 at 8:31 am to STEVED00
The coach has no say in any of this. I don’t understand your point and think you are missing mine. What are you trying to say?
Posted on 8/19/21 at 8:57 am to dobiegil
None of it makes it any sense, I got a call from the principal yesterday to come pick up my kid from school because a student in his class was possibly exposed, not even confirmed just possibly. He didn’t even make it two weeks into the school year and now it’s 10 days at home. I’d be willing to bet most of us have been exposed to Covid over the last 18 months.

I have asked the school for documented proof that my son was in contact with a verified COVID positive student. It’s worth a shot.
