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.

I feel that checking their temps and asking the Covid19 related question is quite enough. Sports are so important to our kids and helps to give them someplace to belong as well as helping too keep them out of trouble. Let them play!!!!!
Let them play!!!
Let our children play the games they love!
Please let these kids have a season!
Let the Boys Play!!!
Let kids play
I bet this changes for the Browns. Really, if anyone tests positive, the event is cancelled. That will never be in the order when their season starts.
Children need to have social interactions.
Use same guidelines as this summer. Temp and symptoms check and let them play.

Its their time. This is what the kids train for and look forward to. Don’t take this away, no more politics. Let’s play football
Play Ball!
DeWine and his cronies are ridiculous!! Let them PLAY!!
It is so important for our kids to play sports -for their physical and mental health – for ours also!!
I say football and other sports over fear. This is ridiculous. These kids need to play!
We are all in and no need for testing!! We want to play!!!
No testing! A temperature check and other necessary precautions should suffice. Me along with all of my co-workers (150 people) have been going into the office to work every day since June 1. We take our temps every day before entering the building, we wear masks outside of our cubicles/offices, we have set up social distancing guidelines and NO issues at all! It’s ridiculous to think that any school/rec org. Our children need to play sports and be involved in other recreational activities! The mental, physical, community, and personal growth issues of not being involved is starting to outweigh the perceived COVID issues. Why won’t our government listen to the real facts!
