Who’s released to practice?

[SoutheastTNHoops]

Curious what teams around the state have been release to practice during this pandemic?  Especially interested after Gov. Lee signed the new executive order allowing groups of 50.

Still have to maintain social distancing. Lots of questions.

Football players have been practicing in groups of 10 a while. I think basketball starts this week.

If football can practice in groups of 10, then why not basketball?

They can but the coach counts as one of the 10

Think they had to wait until the last day of school. TSSAA sent a letter a few weeks ago giving summer guidelines. Time to practice. Will be interesting considering a lot of college camps won’t be open.

Hearsay. A buddy told me that some private school kids and some of the smaller town schools, kids have had gym access

Open facilities and practice are two different things.  Open facilities could have been taking place during April and May but TSSAA said official practice could not begin until after each individual school systems final scheduled day of school.  I’m sure most if not all teams were following theses rules.   And yes some teams are practicing right now while others are not yet allowed to.  So TSSAA everyone is not on a level playing field right now.

If people were practicing, they were not following the stay at home order set by the governor other than essential shopping in April and May.  I agree practice just started but I don’t know the guidelines. I don’t understand how the TSSAA will throw in a dead period in about three weeks not allowing practices after no one has done anything for 2 1/2 months.
