How fast are sports ramping back up?
TeamSnap and Under Armour are tracking real-time activity utilizing TeamSnap data to help monitor a safe return to play
Week of July 6 Updates
In partnership with Under Armour, I am proud to share this heat map as a real-time and data-informed resource that tracks the return to youth sports. This map provides visibility into state-by-state and sport-specific trends across the U.S., and is accompanied by return-to-play resources and sentiments from thought leaders across the country. I invite you to explore, follow and share!
Week of July 6, 2020 findings include:
- The nationwide Return to Sport Index score increased to 100% this week.
- Both ice hockey and lacrosse reached 100% of Return to Sport Index. This likely reflects tournament and showcase events beginning over the 4th of July holiday weekend.
- Indoor sports hold the lowest Return to Sport Index, with basketball steadily increasing to at 74.3%.
- New Mexico now represents the lowest Return to Sport Index at 29.7%.
- 46.3% of survey respondents voting in July indicated, “Yes, it’s time to get back to sports.” Remaining votes were divided evenly at 26.8% each for, “Maybe, with precautions.” and “No, it’s too early.”
Given the continued increase in COVID-19 cases across the country, we will monitor these trends closely in the coming weeks. I encourage you to review and share the many resources within this page to support a safe return to sports.
Play on—safely!

Learn MoreParents’ Cumulative Sentiment on Safety
Are you comfortable with sports resuming in your area today?
My expectations low, my hope is high. I just want to get back to playing.
I expect there will be some skepticism, some conditioning issues, small groups until parents feel comfortable, some health protocol, etc...but most of all, I expect excitement and amazing energy from the kids, organization and coaches.
Smaller groups, socially distancing when appropriate, improved hygiene stations with hand sanitizer and/or hand washing stations. Sports focused outdoors rather than indoors where droplets and airborne diseases travel easier.
Because we are still only in phase one of reopening and I also personally think it’s too early to return to full contact sports such as soccer hockey, and football with the cases of COVID 19 still so high and increasing sadly. But I think sports where individuals are at a distance such as tennis and golf are okay to restart next month or so.
Just happy to get back out there with my team. They need to get out of the house and get back to sports. We plan to hit the ground running!
We’d like to hear how you feel!
