by As reported by KEE On Sports Media Group last night, the stipulations to play contact sports in Ohio currently is that players and coaches will need to be tested 72 hours before EVERY game/scrimmage this season.
Any player who has tested positive is not allowed to play, and the team’s contest is canceled. The coaches and players must have their COVID test in hand before the start of the game.
This ruling is directly from the Ohio Department of Health as mandated last evening. If this ruling stands, then there will be no contact sports (Soccer & Football) in Ohio this fall as schools simply cannot afford the mass testing each week. Non-contact sports can continue without testing.
If you believe a temperature reading should suffice and a check for any symptoms Related to COVID sign the petition. If you believe they should remove this stipulation for the 2020 season please sign your name in the comment section below, and share the petition on all social media formats.

We’ve been playing baseball and soccer — no problems — the last two months!

We want a season!

It’s about SO much more than the game….please give these kids their season. They deserve to play. I
Sports are a way of life for many kids. They are lost without group activities
Let the kids play! Enough is enough!
Temperature check and symptom check should suffice…… total ignorance to make kids get tested every 3 days to play sports. I’d like to see the governor go every 3 days to get tested!!
If it’s safe for non contact inside sports and schools to open then Fall outdoor sports should also be permitted without testing!
Kids need some normalcy and parents need some consistency how things are being handled. If the kid doesn’t have symptoms, why would we be forcing testing?
No symptoms no testing
No symptoms and temperature check should be the standard! It is ridiculous to make the schools or parents absorb the cost of tests!
Let them play!
Playing is a choice that Athletes and parents should have a right to decide. A one time test, fine, but temperature checks should be more than enough.
We need sports
Enough already
Let them play!
Let them play! This is insane! You don’t test those without symptoms! I’ve made it 15 years with parenting my child I don’t need the government telling me how!
No symptoms no test
Let us play
Let them play!
Let my son have his Senior year of football, YES
Let them play
