Starting a new thread so that it will be easier to keep a running tally (perhaps updated each week) of teams who are forced to cancel an upcoming playoff game because of Covid.  Here are the teams I know of as of right now: 

Leto (Tampa)

Robinson (Tampa)

LaBelle

St. John Neumann

Immokalee

Parrish Community

PK Young (not 100% sure this one is Covid-related)

Oasis

Sickles

 

Feel free to add to it if you hear of others.

I think Desoto is forfeiting to Rockledge. Not COVID related. The team is too physically inferior and they don’t want to get anyone hurt. True story

Yeah, I think that's the same thing happening with Brandon (vs. Palmetto).   I guess that's one of the downsides of letting every team make the playoffs and then randomly (allegedly) picking the match-ups.

If you forfeit because you feel that it is a health hazard for kids that have no business playing football, then you have no business participating in a district and playoffs. You are just a waste of space, and the classifications could be reduced by getting rid of the garbage. It’s time to take the trash out. Cut the classes down to 5 max, and let teams that don’t know how to play football, pretend to play in some made up conference like the SSAC.

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
