@no make sense

In other words, what hes really trying to say is that there will be no season lol. Its basically telling us as of may 1st , preparation for the upcoming sports year can start happening. Sad for seniors, but its time to face reality and stop giving these kids hope that there will be a season this year. Lets all just start prepping for next season. This is reality facts.

So even though the students have completed the requirements to graduate with a HS diploma, you want to give them an additional year to be able to play sports??

Why?

You can tell how some of our local politicians, our decision makers, are really in step with what happens in the real life of a high school athlete in Hawaii. The LG says he is optimistic that high school sports can open up on 5/1/21. So if you factor in the preseason training and scrimmages to get ready to fully compete without injuring the student athlete takes us to the ending of May 2021. So basically your first game of the season will start as the school year ends. The high school season can play his first game of the season and graduate on the same day. This guy is a genius.

I dont know why these people are still in hope of having a football season this year lol. Its a done deal. It aint happening. Too much liability. The above statement tells you right there. No season. So stop giving these kids hope that there is goin to be a season this year. It aint happening. Chad , thank you for trying to help these kids play, especially for the seniors. But lets stop giving these kids hope that there is going to be a football season. It aint happening. Juniors and underclassmen , keep training , football will be here next season along with other sports. Time to rebound.

Exactly! Basically teams can start training this summer but there is no season. See you all in September!

Seniors should be allowed a fifth year option to play sports and gather film next school year if they want. They all lost one season of sports and memories, possibly two! This year has been totally lost and none of the leaders who make the decisions stepped up. Mahalo to Andria Tupola and Chad Owens to force some action on their part, but it still seems unlikely for sports to resume this year. I have a plan:

1) Students are allowed to play sports for a fifth year, granted they do not turn 20 years old during the school year 2021-22.
2) In school, fifth years are required to take dual credit classes, which gives them college credits as they transition, like a prep school would do.

May 1? I guess that means there will NOT be any high school sports for the 2020-21 school year. Schools finish the year in May, right? Does the Lt. Gov. really think they can do a whole season for a whole bunch of sports in one month? I don’t think so.

The more proper and helpful statement would be to say that student-athletes (especially the seniors) should make other plans for the remainder of this school year but the returning students can start preparing for 2021-22 by this summer.
